What do you do to come up with dying ideas?

[egarnaat]

I have three blank discs that are waiting for dye but I can't come up with any new ideas. I wondered what you guys do to come up with new dying ideas?

 

[DrenalinJunkie]

I am new to the dyeing game but I know that for me........... sometimes it's a movie, a billboard, a song, a label, etc.

Sometimes just the disc name gives me an idea.

 

[MoonT4]

Just use your imagination

I know the issue well I have 30+ white disc just waiting for dye.

What are the discs? A lot of the guys here base them (Sometimes loosely) on the type of disc being dyed.

Idea #1: Do one of that has the Cheshire Cats eyes and smile from the Alice in Wonderland theme...that would look cool.

I just scour the interweb for pictures I would like to see on a disc or may provide the challenge I am looking for at the moment. You will find some great sites if you look hard enough for images.

Pick something you like, and see if you can find a stencil for that.

 

[yawpstang64]

it gets difficult after a while.. especially when its one of your own discs and you don't just want a basic black stencil anymore

go through the dye-a-day thread if you haven't before
bottlecaps are also fun

If you can find something personal it will almost always make for an original disc, look thru your old stuff with a "dye it on a disc" eye. I found that skeleton dog in an old stack of stickers.
Yawpstangs point is very good one, anything round to start with, like bottlecaps and coasters will make your job a lot easier.
Also I like google images-line drawings, after about the 10th page you can really start to come up with some bizarre stuff (and I like that ).

Ok...thanks for the future NIGHTMARES, Dan!

Kidding...I think you could cut that down to the head and it would look cool. Color would look cook too...I bet a pic with the hookah smoking caterpillar full color would look great...

I was going to put Casey Anthony on my champ monster. My wife tells me that it's not funny but I think it is some nice sick twisted humor. Your thoughts?

 

[RUSSELL]

[Dan Howard]

I forget who it was that had the idea, but that would go great with the "famous serial killers" dye set
