Recipes For Snow with Translations

Dirty Sheep

 White Bark
Here continues the saga of advice for the snowlorn, she is making snowmen!


Thanks Snowlorn, are you a subscriber to RHM?
I wrote an article called It's all white with many white spot dyes.
I used pro chem dyes but the brand doesn't matter.
The idea is to use very little dye and have alternating temperatures or values in each of your snow spot dyes for use in 
each snow man part to help it show up! Or outline in a darker one and fill in with a lighter one.
To determine what values these will be add up the amount of dye! The more dye added, the darker they will be. I've already explained the temperature beside the title.
