The Dye A Day Thread! (Part II)

[baileyt1212]

Sorry, not a dye, but, looking at this spin dyes got me thinking if there would be anyway to use one of these spirograph toys to do a cool design?

I've never really checked out the dyeing threads or videos until today. I was wondering if you can dye a dark colored disc. I have the trilogy challenge driver (the thief I think) and they came in god awful colors. Mine is dark brown almost black, gets completely lost in the woods. Was hoping I could dye it to make it more finder friendly. Any suggestions?

Sweet Dye! Looks like a disc of the Gods on Mt. Olympus!

Is that inner ring made to look like wood or is it clear there? Hard to tell in the pic, if it is woodgrain :thmbup: to you!

Nice, but I was never any good at that when I was a kid either. LOL

I like that Spirograph idea bailey1212. Maybe you could use the worm dye markers?
I just got a hold of a record player and put a dimmer on a fan so some spin dye are next.

Some dyes I just finished.

I keep my pictures on Photobucket, and they have an editor that will resize images and keep the proportions even. Maybe your image host does too. I set my widths at 750px. Photo below added to show the 750px width.

Yup. I've never had a problem unless I left creases in the vinyl.

After you upload, it gives you 3 size options: Original, small and large. Original being the largest. This site rarely gets blocked by firewalls so it gives some of us a chance to check out everyone's dyes while pretending to work at our desks.

- small

- Large

I got a second Tursas and tried to make it match my first. I stuck and unstuck the vinyl on fabric trying to make it less sticky so it wouldn't pull the color off the stamp in places I didn't want. I made it too un-sticky and it bled. But the color turned out great and i still like the lines on the stamp.

I found this pink star destroyer at Elver and called but the guy claimed it was the wrong number. This was done using the style formerly known as Nebula, and glue.

And now for the disc I spent most of the weekend on. Those tye dyes were just done while I was waiting on this one.

It's Katana from Mortal Kombat on a Champ Katana. I did nearly all the lines for her body with single cuts. I flexed the disc but there were still segments that the dye never got into (perhaps I should get thicker blades for doing single cuts?). There were also 5 or 6 small bleeds while doing the symbol in the background which surprised me, but they are all really small.
