images.google.com is your friend lol. Seriously though that is the best place for stencils and pics. With the new layout for the images page it even makes it easier to find a pic that will work for your needs.
I sell my body for my stencils
for sure man......like someone else said....google is your friend. Google Images what you want on your disc. Change the search to look for "line drawings" "black and white" that's a start.
Been dyeing alllll the time lately! Can't post pics as some are XMas gifts, but will post after the holiday. :tease:

Thanks, No its actually handcut vinyl. I thought about using glue but I wasn't sure if I could get the crisp thin lines I wanted where I wanted them. It looks random but its based off of something in physics called a bubble chamber. I don't know a lot about I just know it looks sweet.

Thanks guys. That one was plotter cut. Not too bad to weed but took a while to get all the vinyl off after dyeing. It all came off in little pieces. Anybody have ways to peel vinyl easier? I use oracal 651.

sigh.. I wish
I pull a bunch of corners up and then pull it off under warm water, get some good tweezers for sure

ok, that's usually what I do too. But with the recent conversations of cold washes I wonder if that way of peeling speeds the blurring process.:|

I intentionally rinse it for about 5 minutes before peeling off anything to ensure I won't get any blurring (like peabody's ace disc effect). Since the dye is hot, I don't think a minute or two of hot water while peeling off vinyl can hurt. Fridging it afterwards is worthwhile though.

Thanks! We went out today and he played a full 18 holes with it already.

All over. Sometimes I'll find a sweet stencil, other times I'll draw what I want. The basic part of the Lightning McQueen dye was actually a T-shirt I saw and took a pic of with my phone. Anything and everything will work.

For some of my dyes, I convert a photo in Photoshop. Convert to B&W adjust contrast to bring out the highlights, Posterize, then adjust the threshold to were you think it would make a great two tone shot.

Dude, I love the design on that one. Simple but awesome, very original. :thmbup:
forget so soon? I totally weeded that one, you dyed it a few days afterward by yourself. Team effort! :hfive:

spaceman, did you plot that for him?
if you did, would you mind sharing that stencil? if i ever throw a green disc, i want that dyed on it.

Thank you, sir. I'm proud of this one.

So here we go! My latest dye attempt. I feel a bit more worthy to post this one.
The few things I thought but didn't think of. I thought it would take for ever to cut. It took maybe 20 min. I thought it would take for ever to set, it took maybe 20 min. I was worried about the dye because it was all islands with lots of edges to keep track of. It actually went pretty well. The one thing I did not think of was removing the sticky icky to reveal the finished product. It took me probably close to 45 min. Either way I had fun doing it and I hope you all like it!
