Thank you and you are welcome.... I love to inspire others ... and thank you for sharing your knowledge ... anytime I have someone ask me questions in Spanish, I refer them to your channel in case it will help them ✌🏻
@@MrTieDye I posted photos this morning and just tagged you in a comment on Instagram. I created both of those from watching your tutorials 🌈 Love your channel and appreciate your help! ☮️
Just wanted to leave a comment and let you know that I like your videos. They have always given me some color and calm when I needed it. I’ve made some of your designs and they turned out really nice.
Just came to say thanks for everything you do and the knowledge you share with us, i started watching you in 2021 and sold my first shirts in 2022, since than every year has just gotten bigger and bigger in terms of sales haha, last summet i had my first shirts go to Jamaica!
That design is excellent. Of all the demos I found your explainations the most plain to understand and the results perfection. If one wanted to do a zig zag on an arch or circle is that possible? And if so, how! I am working with circles and have this idea in my head, but do not know how to make it! Thanks!
Thank you very much and you are welcome ... as for zigzags of a circle, here are a couple videos where I do what I can the zigzag wigwag a couple different ways :ru-vid.comPcKuutGTgxQ?feature=share ru-vid.comjxNKpg2dKFA?feature=share the patterning comes both from how it is folded as well as how the dye is laid down... so you can fold a circle or arch design and then lay the dye down in most of a zigzag pattern ... I hope one of these videos helps with what you are wanting... if not, you can ask anohter question (not a reply to this one as they do not show up in the same way, ask a new question on here and refer to this one) and I will answer what I can for you
That's funny! That's exactly the two videos I watched. I will experiment with a small circle first. I was inspired by the Fair Isle design on sweaters and thought it would be fun to try in dye! Many of your methods I discovered on my own so watching your videos added to my confidence in the work I am creating. I have a pile of towels I use to place canvases and I also use paper towel to determine colors. Especially when the light is less than optimal this time of year. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. @@MrTieDye
Very nice work. I still have a issue with my Emerald green from Dharma. Sometimes it turns turquoise. I know they make it from turquoise. I wrote Dharma about it. I usually have this problem in the winter. They thought it might be from being to cold during the batching cycle. So I started using a space heater by my tubs. But I still get this issue from time to time. It's quite annoying.
Yeah Emerald is one of my favorite greens to use, but to get it the way I like it, I use a little more dye to make it than most other colors and it seems to 'Expire' sooner than other colors ... before I started using a fridge to store my dyes in, I would have my dyes around at room temp (65-70F here in Oregon) for 2-3 weeks before the colors started to produce lighter shades ... most colors lasted the 3 weeks, but Emerald lasted about 2 weeks ... at that point, if I wanted better colors from the Emerald, I would add anohter scoop of dye and blend it up again ... but I only did this one time, then I made sure to use up the Emerald before the 2 week mark ... anyways, now that I store in the fridge they last longer, but still the Emerald seems to go first
AN IDEA... Would love a video showing two shirts with the same design BUT with one inside out and the other one NOT inside out. Hope you are well. It's been a few months.
turning the tees inside out does not change the design that much ... I do it for a few reasons... 1. I can see the hems/seams of the tee which makes centering the tee easier ... here is how I Center a tee or fold it in half : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rjdJWIGdsVg.html (I discharged a black tee to make the seams more apparent for the video) 2. I use washable markers and 99.9% of the time they wash out, but I have had a few tees over many years that a stray mark did not wash out... if this happens, those marks are on the inside of the tee. 3. Sometimes the dyes do not dissolve all the way and can leave tiny specks of dye that can leave a darker spot of color ... when I turn my tees inside out, these spots are on the inside, or at least the worst of them are and yes I am doing well, thank you 🙏
I found these 4 oz bottles with the fine metal tips on Amazon, here is a link to them as well as a video for how I fill mine ... also, if you use this link for your purchase, then I will receive e credit : 4 oz Bottles with Metal tips ~ Detail Dyeing : amzn.to/3h46iel How I fill the bottles : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-laYYAlV5Yng.html there are more links in the description box for other tools I use ✌🏻
Hello and Welcome to the Wonderful World of Tie-Dye .... I use Procion Fiber Reactive Dyes ... I pre wash and pre soak the cotton tees in a Soda Ash solution, this raises the pH level of the cotton which activates the Procion Dyes (sources listed below) and causes a chemical bond to form between the cotton fibers and the Procion Dyes. (Procion Dyes work on other natural fibers as well like : Bamboo, Hemp, Linen, Rayon, and even silk, but I use a slightly different process for silk) I have a ton of videos that are sorted into many different playlists so be sure to explore … I have put a bunch of videos into one Playlist to help get you started with an overview of Tie-Dye, and then how to mix the Dyes, mix or make Soda Ash, Batch the tees (let the dyes set up so the bonding can happen), and the Rinse/Wash Out Process... Also, I have many videos on the basic folds and various ways of dyeing the cotton tees or tapestries ... Have fun exploring and I wish you success on your Tie-Dye Journey, Oh and I recommend taking photos of your work so you can look back and see how far you have come as this is an art that you will need to practice, but it pays off with getting better each time you do it ..... This art can be quite addictive, you have been warned lol 😉 Here is my Beginner's Playlist : ru-vid.com/group/PLMEtBqB2BzuquDrHsqxbv8LdFkaIyy3wo ✌🏻❤️🌈🥳🙏 Here is a list with some more folds to try out : ru-vid.com/group/PLMEtBqB2Bzupqjuh_6wdf-wMlgGdAjVaE Plus, there are many other tie-dye artists who share their techniques so others can learn, here is a list I have compiled that were mentioned in the tie-dye pages : ru-vid.comchannels Most Dyers use Procion Dyes, so just in case you are looking for sources for those, here are the main places to buy them from in the US : CA : Dharma : www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html CO : Grateful Dyes : www.grateful-dyes.com/ CO : CO Wholesale Dye Corp. : www.bulkdye.com NC : Custom Colors Inc. : www.customcoloursinc.com/ MA : Pro-Chemical and Dye : prochemicalanddye.net/ MO : Dyespin : www.dyespin.com
