I liked your video and all the observations/commentary. I don’t know if anyone else said this, but I read somewhere that the glue has to dry for 24 hrs before dying. That might prevent the tackiness while dipping it in the vat. ❤
Did you peel the glue off or did it come off with washing or how did you remove the glue? Also did the dye bleed in the resisted area if you tried washing again? Thank you!!!
do you think it would work to brush glue over a stencil? yours looks awesome! one comment, it's best to have another container/towel to wring out your indigo soaked fabric. if you wring it out over the bucket then it makes a lot of bubbles and causes more oxidation in the bucket.
this was a wonderful video! I have only tried painting with clay so far. The glue allows for so much more detail. I can't wait to try it. I have a question for you; Are you doing a room temperature indigo vat, not the usual warm in order to prevent the glue from melting?
Love this! Ive been looking around on the internet and haven't found my answer yet... Can you fold and tie stuff after the glue dries? Or will the tie process break the design?
Thanks for watching- I think you could get something similar if you did folding. But I don’t think it would be as high contrast. What kind of shibori have you tried before?
Hi, I love your videos! I want to try something like this with the glue resist, but using a public dye bath, as opposed to dying at home. So my clothes would be dyed, washed and dried with tons of other peoples clothes. How do you think the glue will affect the other textiles? Once the clothes are all dyed and then go into a wash together, will the glue just easily dissolve? Will it affect other garments In any way? I would really appreciate your thoughts on this.
Thanks for watching! I would probably not do this with a big batch of other peoples clothes. It sometimes takes a few washes and scrubbing. I check it every step of the way. That’s a great concept of mass dyeing. I’ve never done that. Where is that done?!
@@OnyxArtStudios Suay Shop LA. They are on Instagram too. You can mail in your items. There used to be a public dye place on the east coast called Tintoreria. Let me know if you have any ideas as to what kind of resist process would be safe for a public dye bath.
It's synthetic (or pre reduced). I would not recommend submerging the glue for long periods of time- so synthetic is good. It is water soluble. If you try with natural indigo- let me know how it goes!
It's vat from pre-reduced indigo. I have had it for months- always adding to it. I sell a kit on my site- but it's for domestic shipping only. onyxartstudios.com/collections/tie-dye-kits/products/shibori-indigo-starter-kit-with-free-video-tutorial-and-free-domestic-shipping
I haven’t tried it with natural dyes. You could try it. I would just be careful how long you leave it in the dye. The glue is washable so it starts to come off in water.
I dunno. It seems to me a lot easier using a washer for it's size. I guess for small batches it would make sense but I'm interested in doing curtains so it would take a huge pot. But I am wondering about the expense of washable glue vs wax..
I don't have a washer dryer in my home. I hand wash it first in my sink with syntrhapol. Don't worry it won't stain leave residue on the washer dryer- I always double check.
