The Dye A Day Thread! (Part II)

[Dan Howard]

Thanks all. Excellent guess Bennett, 350 signed and numbered MVP nanos + the 5 Innova test minis that are buried. It was mostly a labor of love, entry fee to a great tournament, some extra yummies, and all materials costs were covered. We're no different in KC, everybody here wants to help make our hometown tournament the very best of tournaments!

It did generate a bit of a buzz so the extra ones I happened to have sold well (Thanks Dick and Dave at Disc Golf World for the tent space).

A couple of my favorites.

very cool thread

Seriously. I am loving all the cool disc designs. Before recently I never knew people did this to their discs! It's awesome to see the artistic abilities of everyone on here. I would love to make some custom disc designs.

Keep up the good work! And :thmbup: to every Calvin and Hobbes I see :clap:

Dan....... I have no words
Bigman..... just awesome! Hope all you dads had a great day.

Here is my first failed trial with the punky color. I salvaged it into something my son may actually throw. Yellow Ion

Doesn't look like a failure to me. Looks like the iris of someone's eye. Pretty cool.

I think that's actually pretty cool! Kind of like some green colored crystal ball.

DTP - I don't think I'd ever refer to something that purty as a "failure". I think that thing looks AWESOME!

Did you do the gradient w/the punky color? I tried using it w/a spin technique, and it just came out 'meh'. Like the iDye a lot better for that method.

Thank you, bmx, and all. I only label it a fail because the green dyed only as a solid color rather than 'wavy' like it looked on the disc before rinsing. I really liked how the blue came out but didn't think it was enough. Went back and added some red to the underside of the yellow disc and then topped it off with an airbrush gradient to make it more 3-D and a spin dye black 'pupil'

First off, it looks cool as all get out:clap:, so you really only failed to make it match the vision in your head.

I've had the punky look awesome too, only to be washed away into a blur; the key is patience. Let that thing sit there like two days.

 

[RUSSELL]

ok. obviously i missed something some where. what is this "punky" color of which you speak?

 

[DyeingToPlay]

^the dye used to make the 'brainwave' type dyes is a hair dye called punky color. You can google it and find it online. My wife picked some up for me at a local 'beauty shop' type place.

 

[goosefraba1]

Wow dan!!! That is awesome... did you do all of those yourself or did you have help? I am doing something similar for the Lexington Open next year

 

[Ikikoloa]

First dye

First dye! It doesn't compare to all of these but here you go.

 

[Alexplz]

Ummm someone do this for me?

That dye is out of control. The color and texture of the disc along with the gradient of the dye is perfect. FF10 was my favorite.

 

[Grungedude42]

Late to the party, but those Dan Howard circle dyed minis remind me of the art for the band Lemon Jelly.

Bottom stamp destroyer. Been a while since I've had time to dabble. I like the result.
