Thanks Bennett and Stonewall, I'll be sure to do that. Think I got one of my Octhrowberfest entries worked out. Too bad you can't see it for a few months!

Bennett- thanks for the kind words. Haven't done much dyeing lately, but am looking forward to playing more with the painting techniques.

Excellent work Dyeing, are you using any thickeners in your paint or is that just Rit powder in acetone?

 

[DyeingToPlay]

Thanks guys! Dan, I've never tried thickeners. This is just powder and acetone.

The eye and that...thing are excellent work.

Holy crap! I have a thread proposal: "Disturbing Dyes".

What do you think?

Hey Dyeing...what ratio acetone to rit do you use? I may have to try painting some discs now.

Hey Dyeing...what ratio acetone to rit do you use? I may have to try painting some discs now.

The ratio is not an exact science and no matter what the acetone evaporates very quickly. What I generally do is put about 1/8 to1/4 tsp. of rit in a shot glass or similar small non porous vessel. Top off with about a 'capfull' of acetone and mix well. It is very similar to watercolor painting.

Ah ok. Great...thank you very much

Dyeing - words can't express how awesome those discs are - well, maybe "HOLY F*%k! THOSE ARE AWESOME!" comes close, but still not sure if they cover it...

Are you dipping an outline, then painting in the shading, or is the whole process painted?

Just amazing.

Last dye I do w/the 3M vinyl I got. Just can't keep the bleeds from happening from the lines in the glue they use...
