Hi Crispy! You are so awesome to share your knowledge with us. You inspired us to make a few of your tie dyes and we LOVE them. I freaking harnessed space and was inspired while making some really cool art. Our kids shine brightly in them to school, everyday. They love them. Looks like you are up in BC or so, come down and visit us in Eastern Oregon, John Day country anytime. Thank you for sharing! We are fans.
Hi. We love your tutorials and made some nice shirts this past weekend. Though our blackhole shirt came out awesome our black faded to gray even after soaking in salt ash and sitting for 24 hours with the colors. Where do you get your black? We live in Hawaii and all we could find are Tulip or Rit dyes. Thank you.
Hello, first of all I want to congratulate you for your fabulous work and thank you for sharing it. Just a question what type of paint or dye do you use?
If I were doing this with a shirt split down the middle white/black and wanted to do this one side and the exact opposite with bleach dye on the other side how do you think I'd fold, flip, and spray the shirt?
Your work is the best man! Can i soak more than one shirt in the same soda ash solution (one after another) or will it make the second one be less effective? And do you use urea too on that solution?
You can certainly use the same soda ash over and over till it's gone, even the stuff that's been squeezed out of other shirts when they're done soaking.
Any shirt made of natural fibres (cotton, silk, rayon, etc) will work, but not unnatural ones like polyester, you need a different form of dye for that.
Hey mate, you're brilliant. I've spent some time scrolling through every single comment in this video and part II as well but I couldn't find the answer I'm looking for. I tried to read the label in the vid but it's a bit blurred. I'd like to know from what company did you buy this T-shirt? Would you enlight me on this? Cheers
I just loving it how i can used my zip ties to folded it up white single piece of t-shirt, So i can make the Purple Hole while i am literally gonna used Deep Purple, Bright Green, Lite Orange, Darker Red, and probably used with Cardinal Red and Burgundy color if it needs to putting on a test-run added with a paper towel i will maybe put some Purple, Green, & Red on it.
With that many it depends largely on how much you conserve and what styles you're doing, but if you ask whoever your supplier is they should have a better idea than me... I tend to do small batches.
AAAAAA sorry for the late comment but do you pour the colors perpendicular or parallel to the elastics in order to get the vertical lines like the thumbnail?
The colour's the same, but if you don't do the inside-out trick then either the front or back of your shirt is going to be lopsided. It ensures that both sides have a proper mirrored effect down the middle. :)
