The Dye A Day Thread! (Part II)

I agree what dye are you using dude!

thanks for the kind words, BigMan! Dan.... I love the potter's wheel idea. I tried a turntable, but it only did 33.5 and 45.... too slow.... i need an old fashioned one that will do 78rpm.

Fishy's spin dye set up might be something to consider, I have no idea how fast it'll go but I would be surprised if max is less than 78.

Thank you koogs and DTP for the warm welcome.
This dye is the one I've wanted to post on here for a long time.I did this nearly 3 years ago (but I took the picture just today} This disc is a testament to the quality of opto plastic. It was within the first 10 dyes that I've done...I think no. 8. It has faded some but not much, and is still one of my favorites.

Just out of curiosity, are you using a lathe (or a set up similar) in order to do this type of dye? I'm guessing a drill w/a suction cup type of bit, steady hand, and some kind of dye-infused pens could make this happen.

And don't take this the wrong way, as this looks awesome regardless of technique, but bf you're doing individual dips, its absolutely amazing... :clap:

Bender's reply below used to be true. I have gone high-tech and use a turntable now. Hand spinning became tedious. But, my turntable is powered by gerbils in a wheel

inspired by Brainwave's recent awesomeness I just had to experiment.

Nice work!!! :clap:

Brainwave your work is truly unique and I totally dig it, truly an artist of a different nature to the rest of the dyers.. To the rest of you it is just truly out of control that this is done with dye and plastic. These are legitimate works of art and should be celebrated as such!! I am working my way back into dyeing. For some reason i dislike dyes in my bag at the moment, but having a custom disc is always a plus. please keep pushing this art forward it is simply amazing. Id like to see a thread with different dyers and their progression.

In the few forums i frequent and the entire interwebz, this is by far the best thing out there. sorry for the long post I am tired...

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words!!

I guess I'm curious if he has some sort of drill or lathe-like, hand, or foot-powered machine that will spin disc slowly, while he makes the circles of color. That's a lot of cutting, masking & re-dipping for a dye that took "mere minutes" to complete.

I don't think it's a dip type dye, and was just curious about the method. But I've been known to be wrong before.

Regardless though, it's a cool dye. :clap:

You got it! Two turntable and a microphone I do not employ masking- yet
