The Dye A Day Thread!

[ZBoazMobster]

3M vinyl (as you can tell by some of the bleeds.)

With that KC dye... your line-bleeds are perpendicular to most of the design. If you had turned the design 90 degrees, there would have been far less. Just a pointer on that 3M stuff!

thanks! im learning quickly, i honestly think i just didnt get it pressed down very well. i have been putting them in the sun or under a light for a while once i get the vinyl on now and it seems to seal it up pretty well.

im going to order some oracal 651 soon, but im low on funds! i need more colors of dye too... im getting tired of just black and red and yellow.

I have worked my ass off on those lines. With some success. Never the less, they are always there.
HOWEVER!... most of them dissapear into fadeness within 60-90 days.

I like elephants! Nice job.

it wasnt an innova stamp, it had a tourney stamp from a tourney i didnt play, and it was a rainbow stamp, which i hate.

and i love to dye, so why not?

Should have dyed a Discraft logo on it. That would be super unique

Did this on a TeeBird today. Took about 45 minutes to draw and cut by hand. The green came out a little dark, but it is still translucent in person.

Also did a few others in the last couple days, and will be doing more throughout the week's end

Man there's been a lot of new people showing up around on here with great dyes, love to see the community growing. Great work by everyone.

Here's a champ orc I just finished up for a friend who's a huge Final Fantasy fan.

Umaro (Yeti) on the front and Mog, the moogle you need to get Umaro in your party, on the back of the disc.

did this one last night. first time using a ruler as a guide with the knife, i think i need to find myself a metal straight edge, something really low to the paper, but it really helped making it look lined up.

its a pre barry leopard that i recently started throwing.

Looks great!
Yes, you need a metal ruler. I too hand cut simple, geometric designs and it helps a great deal.

I suggest not getting just a ruler, but a square, it's much more versatile. This one is 12" x 8".

 

[BADman]

ooo i like the corners on that straight edge thanks for the input gents

 

[NoThingness]

Go free hand just be steady with your cuts. I fund rulers more of a pain in the ass then a help

 

[Eky8]

Depends on what you are doing. I use a ruler for most of my geometric stuff. Makes long straight lines much easier.

 

[Dan Howard]

Finished a couple more today, all for a show tomorrow night. First fridays in KC, if your in the area come by Disc Golf World, 5-9pm (another shameless plug ).

I think bigbadbid first posted this one, my interpretation

And another done with the help of the Amazing Marzac2.

Got one more in shaving cream and am glad to be frickin' done. I'm seriously feeling PINK around the gills.

 

[yearofrolling]

I haven't posted one in a while, so here ya go.
Not original but I've wanted to do it for so long,
I just needed some green Champ plastic to do it.
Hand cut (if you couldn't tell)
