My thought on this is that he would create the lines on another object and then transfer them to the disc. This should give you clean well defined lines as long as you get enough height on the veins before you transfer them.

When you look at this disc here, the disc itself is white but the background has all the color and the waves stayed white for the most part. So i dont think hes dying the waves

Sorry if you posted that earlier lol I havent read the entire thread, just looked at pics lol

Need someway for the waves to be a shield against dye coming in contact with the disc while dying the background

maybe wave the disc, then freeze the cream mixture before dying?

but if you look at Jeff's stuff its not all like that. I just did a quick try with using elmers glue in the same way we have been doin the press thing and it worked ok but the lines were definately alot thinner. I think the glue thing would work for something like that disc trying to preserve the color of the disc for the waves but if u look at his other stuff the waves are distinctly a different color than the original disc

[rakeyohn]

What about something thicker that the dye can't penetrate. Make veins on object, transfer to disc, place disc in dye bed, after it takes color rinse disc and peel off veins? Somebody brought up a good point thought in that whatever he was using had to be cost efficient. i.e. he wasn't using an expensive adhesive that cost 3$ per disc.
