@pascaljohn9298 3 года назад

just awesome , question though do you have to use sinew string for it to work?

@FunEndeavors 3 года назад

Thank you! Yes, if you would like the white lines in the shirt - that comes from the sinew. Because sinew is wax coated, it will make a waterproof barrier under the sinew line that won't allow the dye to get to that area. Without the sinew, you will get the shape of the geode, but the colors will run together and you won't have the white definition lines.

Thank you! I buy from Dharma Trading Company, Grateful Dyes, Custom Colours, and ProChemical and Dye. Right now some of the colors are kind of hard to get though because Cerulean blue was either discontinued or just hard to get and a lot of the colors are mixed from Cerulean. I'd check stock on the colors you are interested in to see who has the best color selection. Dharma seems to be having a hard time keeping up with inventory because of the high demand right now. I had several colors canceled from my last order that showed in stock when it was placed. Here are links to the places I mentioned above.

@FunEndeavors 3 года назад

@jjayuniverse1491 3 года назад

can i use liquid color instead?

@FunEndeavors 3 года назад

You can, but the color will have a more solid uniform look. Ice dyeing allows the colors to split into the component colors used to make the dye color, and the colors will have varying intensities on the shirt. Liquid dyeing usually gives consistent color and consistent intensity.

I only use Urea when I liquid dye. Urea is to help get the dye into solution and to help keep the fabric from drying out during the dyeing process. When I mix liquid dye, I add the urea along with the dye and water.

@xp2x749 3 года назад

what does the ice do

@FunEndeavors 3 года назад

It helps to dissolve the powdered dye. When I mix the dye into a liquid, it is a solid and uniform color when it goes on the shirt. However, when I put the powdered dye on the shirt and then add ice - the dye will "split" into the various colors that were used to make that dye color. The color will also be more mottled and varied - not solid and uniform. Therefore, ice dyeing has a very unique look compared to liquid dyeing.

Hi! Thanks for your videos. I just started tie dye this year and I use them all the time. What is the main difference between using sinew and waxed dental floss to tie up the shirts?

@FunEndeavors 3 года назад

Thank you so much - I'm glad you are enjoying them! I haven't ever tried using dental floss for tie dye so I really can't do a fair comparison. However, sinew is much more heavy duty than dental floss. It has several strands wound together, and the kind that I use has a tensile strength of 70 pounds. So, you can really pull on the sinew to get it super tight without it breaking.

@mathildabootier6414 3 года назад

Can someone tell me the contrasting outcomes of ice dying over regular dying? Seems to he dye and soda ash would not be adequately distributed..?

@FunEndeavors 3 года назад

When you liquid dye, the dye looks more uniform and solid in color. However, when you ice dye it has more color variation. Not only do the dyes split into the colors that were used to mix the dye color, but there are varying shades of the color - like darker and lighter areas of that color instead of being uniform in color. Part of the dye variation is due to the fact that the dye isn't as even across the shirt and I think it adds some depth and of course I love all the color splits from ice dyeing.

My geodes all came out perfect circles like a bullseye 😅

@FunEndeavors Год назад

Yikes! Tying from the bottom of the geode out to the middle is a great way to try to avoid that. As you get closer to the middle of the geode, keep roughing up the fabric and poking part of the fabric into the center. Essentially, keep the fabric kind of messy while you are tying it. This is one design where the messier the better. I've got a video which shows how to make a really cool and interesting center on a geode. It is a single geode shirt, but the same technique works on multiple geodes. Here's a link to that video if you're interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z5_wpcAosfI.html

@@stephenmartin6733 You can do that too, but the dye won't split the same way it will if you use it as a powder instead of mixing it into a liquid. When you mix it as a liquid it blends the dye together into a uniform color. When it is used as a powder, the dye will split into the component dye colors that were used to make that particular color. There are a few powdered dyes that are not mixed colors and they don't split, but most colors are mixtures that will split and add a really cool look to the shirt.

@@FunEndeavors What is that spool thing called that you wind your sinew on? looks like it would save your hands

@lindafaulkner9540 3 года назад

Since you wait until the shirt is dry to die, why not just start with a dry shirt?

@FunEndeavors 3 года назад

I need to soak the shirt in soda ash so that the dye will bond properly with the fabric, and I think it is easier to do that in the beginning. It is also easier to get tighter sinew lines when the shirt is damp. If I dyed the shirt while it was damp though it would be hard to get the middle of the geodes saturated well. The shirt would be so full or saturated with soda ash solution that it wouldn't soak up the dye very well. When the shirt is dry, it wicks up the dye much faster and gets more fully saturated in the middle.

Thank you! I personally would leave it flat to tie it up. It's going to take awhile, but I think it would look cool to not have any areas with a repeating design. You could also make the geodes a little larger. That will be a cool addition to your she shack/man cave!

I love your videos so much. I am so excited to give it a try but I have no idea how much dye to order. Can you help??

@FunEndeavors 2 года назад

Thank you! If you are only making a few shirts, the smaller 2 ounce containers of each dye color will be more than enough. I personally still buy 2 ounce containers of a lot of the dye colors. I buy larger containers of the colors that I use all the time, but I can dye quite a few shirts with a 2 ounce container of dye. I'm not sure where you would like to purchase dye from, but Dharma is one of the most popular places so I'll use them as an example. If you are mixing liquid dye, not all dye colors use the same amount of powdered dye to mix 1 cup of liquid dye. Dharma dye colors that do not have an "*" behind the color name require 2 teaspoons of dye to mix 1 cup of dye. Colors that have a "*" behind the name require 4 teaspoons of dye, and colors with two "**" require 8 teaspoons of dye. Therefore, some dyes colors will go a bit further than others. Also, the dyes are sold by weight so there will be a difference in the amount of actual powdered dye in each container. If you are ice dyeing, the mixing instructions for liquid dye won't matter and you will use the same amount of powdered dye regardless of the color. I actually think I use less of the really dark two "**" colors when I ice dye. I know that is a lot of information. If you prefer, Dharma, Grateful Dyes, and Prochemical and Dye all have tie dye kits. That is always a great place to start. The kits contain their professional dyes along with all the other supplies you will need to make a few shirts. Have fun tie dyeing!!! 🙂

@FunEndeavors 3 года назад

Thank you! Urea is mainly used to help keep the items from drying out while they are processing. I live in a very hot climate and so I normally add it to my liquid dye. However, a lot of tie dyers don't ever use it. It is also used to help get the dye into solution.

i have been trying to get myself to do some more ice dye and this is great inspiration. I have done one other geode which I liked but I love all your blues in this one. Now I need to go look for some cake molds. What a great idea! I cut up cardboard into strips but these sound like they might be easier. , , an reusable!

@FunEndeavors 3 года назад

Thank you - I'm glad I inspired you! I love the silicone cake molds - they are so easy to use. They are a breeze to mold around unusual shapes and they wash up so well to reuse. I used to use cardboard too, but it was really time consuming to cut the cardboard into strips and form it around the folds. I actually use to try to pick folds where I didn't need an ice barrier. The silicone molds take minutes to form around the shirt and clothespins are great to hold them in place where they don't move. Also, if you need to turn the shirt over - they are easy to rearrange to fit the shirt if needed. Here's a link to the ones I bought on Amazon. amzn.to/2EnsaU2

Love it! Where do you get your shirts from? Have you done socks too? I want to do some, but I'm having a hard time finding socks that are 100% cotton. The closest I've been able to find seems to be 80%.

@FunEndeavors 4 года назад

Thank you! I used to order from Jiffy Shirts. However, I've started ordering from a wholesale supplier called SanMar as well as a couple other wholesale suppliers. I have done socks, but not lately. You can't find socks that are 100% cotton because they will all have elastic of some kind. However, 80% cotton is really good. They should dye up really well. Don't be shocked though if they have white flecks. It's just the elastic in the sock that won't take the dye.

Thank you! On this shirt, the white lines come from the sinew I use to tie it with. Since it is wax coated it forms a barrier that won't allow the dye to get under it. When you wrap your geode, make sure to pull the sinew really tight until you feel it lock down and tighten. Here's a link to the sinew that I use: amzn.to/2EF28Lu
