Brainwave-Like Disc Dyeing

[goosefraba1]

Me too..... just did a test on the side.... looks like the dye is taking to the plastic OK.... might need to re-wet the dye and heat it up with a a blow dryer to make sure that it takes. I will be checking them after class tomorrow.

For lavon_andy ......

I would love to do this one. Would have to probably use a really light pastel background for the BWs.... and then more mold colors for the Jellyfish.

That's a ton of tiny lines

Might look for setjing worth dying to try something though. Kind of thinking the tiny lines could come across with a single pass and a good long hot dip (maybe dark blue) then marble the body in dark blue and orange with shaving cream (or BW this part?) then either Sc background or BW background (do opposite of body) in light blue

Maybe I can find a white bottom stamp star wraith or a white GL river to do this on

Hmmm I'm thinking some angel hair pasta. maybe even just hair in general

I was thinking free hand for the tentacles (or whatever they are) with a tiny brush.

Trying a couple of old discs first:







We will see what turns up in 24-48 hours!

Can't wait to see how these turn out!!

One last run through with a spray bottle and blow dryer and then I'm going to pull them. I doubt that the pro plastic will show much (the white disc) because it had the waxy texture. The ti disc (red one) will show... but will probably be dark. The yellow star-like disc might show the best... we will see. Just got two white discs to play with for tonight.

Oh mah gerrrd. Pictures soon.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I present to you..... after much trial and error (probably more error than anything else)..... BRAINWAVES.

Just want to say thanks to all of the people that have helped in making this happen. I can now say that I am 99% sure that Punky Color is what Jeff Ash was using If it looks like brainwaves... and smells like grapes.... it is probably Braiwaves.

So,

Ti Buzz that was originally Dark Red.... I knew that this wasn't going to show well. Just came out with some dark BWs.
