I LIKE THIS ONE! SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT. ONLY ONE TEENY THING: IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS, MAKE SURE YOUR FABRIC IS THE SAME SIZE AS THE PAN, SO THE COLOR PATTERN WILL BE MORE COHEISIVE AND NOT PARTS OF IT LOOKING FADED OUT.
Okay, I'm guessing that when you wash it, you are using detergent and cold water? Also, any thoughts on the necessity for the product Retayne, Rit Color Stay( or whatever it's called) or the fixer Dharma Trading Co. sales? My interest is apparel, and washed (hopefully) often. I really appreciate your contribution. It's truly amazing that we can share information like this. P.S. a correction, referring to:" my interest is in apparel " sentence regarding it's hopefully frequent washing. I meant that I make tiedye clothes, and that they are hopefully washable without color loss and bleeding.
I am just going to suggest that anyone trying this out doesn't over mix their colours , and never allow a pink and a green to blend unless you want a horrible grey brown , what we painters call mud! It is what occurred in this video and its never attractive, keep your colours that blend badly side by side . Pink and green look great together in my opinion , I don't believe "pink & green should never be seen" , they simply do not blend together as one & make another nice colour . Think of the colour wheel. I do a lot of mixed media acrylic paint pouring art , which is basically the art of mixing paint with many different kind of additives , in order to create beautiful colours that will not make mud , and not become muddy when poured & blended on canvas to make beautiful patterns and different cells of colour as paint mixes , so I know what I am talking about here.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. This is quite interesting in dying fabrics. i must give it a try. Does it matter what type of dye you use? I suppose it does. But I have a kit of tie dyes in various colors I bought from Michael's a couple of years ago. Never opened or used them. Do you think I can experiment with those? Thanks again.
This would be a cool way to make a tie dye style shirt, you could make sure the pattern is exactly how you want it and then lay the shirt on top. Plus with a cotton shirt it would probably soak through front and back at the same time. Very interesting. I can see using this for several different applications, even finding ways to do words or shapes or patterns. Very cool thanks! BTW the photos at the end look gorgeous!
Anytime unwanted color mixing might occur (even if you resist over-swirling!) I suggest avoiding using opposite colors. You can check out a color wheel, but basically use like colors: green blue and yellow, yellow orange and red, or red purple and blue... Avoid Mixing red (or pink) with greens, yellow and purple, or orange and blue.
We do a similar pattern in soap making with the various colors, using a skewer to cut the same design in the soap....and call it a peacock swirl. Stop after the second pass and it won't muddy it up. I loved this video and this technique of fabric dying! Thank you for sharing.
This looks like a lot of fun (and a big mess in the sink 😂), but I truly like the result 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Do you need to prewash the fabric with adding something special (eg salt or vinegar) to the normal washing program? Is the fabric dry or moist, when you apply the shaving foam? Thanks for sharing!
