I tried marbling on a tessellation.

dan, thanks for your inspiration. I tried the marbling on this Star Katana. It was pretty ugly before the dye. Stupid bad sharpie art. This covered up most of the front side. Either way. Hope you all like!!

BTW, start 'em young!!!!

McLovin,

Can I ask what you are using to gut those circular lines so well (especially when you are spacing them)?

I've been using an all purpose compass to hold a swivel head Xacto but the blade wants to walk badly.

I just spent the money on a plotter. I know its almost cheating but i cant draw to save my life.

 

[tharealmclovin]

I am McLovin this dye job! What is the disc please?

That is on a Crystal clear Latitude 64 Halo. The clearest disc I ever saw

If you are not a dyer but come here regularly to check out the cool art these people are putting on discs please consider a single disc donation to the Okthrowberfest. This is a great opportunity for you to reward them for all their hard work. Details here.

Hyzer that's some sweet blue marbling :hfive:! I think that is the color I struggle with the most.

Egarnaat luv that disc but don't like that I can't see your dye album w/o joining another DG site.

And Mshelton, there are several ways to get the nice circles w/o a plotter. Cheapest is using plates and pot lids. Exacto makes a circle cutter that's good to about 6 3/4", more expensive ones will cut to the edge of a Buzzz (8 1/2").

I picked up a circle cutter off ebay for $5 that extends to 12". So this can even work on superclass discs.

Thanks Dan Howard, fixed. I wasn't aware that option was turned on.

Thanks for the circle cutter information guys, I didn't know such a tool existed.

Latest dye, I had a complex (for me) stained glass lay out in mind but knew this would be a thrower so I wanted something I could find easier. Simple dye, the blue was last and as I put it on the dog had jumped the back fence and was stirring up the neighborhood so the disc got left in the pan with the heat on the lowest setting, came out a wee bit darker than I wanted and with the bubble effect, although the bubble thing is starting to grow on me, kinda like stars.
