Hippie! Wassup buddy?

Yes know, I've been thinking about this, and I have an idea:

Do you think we could add the soda ash to the actual dye (to the water inside the bottles), instead of adding it to the soak water for the fabric?

So, we'd start with a shirt, get it damp with regular tap water, wring it out, fold/tie, then let dry completely. Since no soda ash is in the shirt, it can't recrystalize on the outside when it dries out.

Then, mix up soda ash water for the dye bottles (I think this is when we would add urea if using it), mix in dye powder, then immediately dye the shirt (bc I think there's a time limit on how long the dye remains active once it's in contact with soda ash? Idk I think I read that years ago).

Could be worth a shot.

:mushroomgrow::sunny::mushroomgrow:


Regarding urea: I have some, and I've used it before, but I don't remember anything about it. It's supposed to help certain dye powders dissolve, and also helps preserve moisture so the dye has a longer time frame to bond to the fabric. I associate it with color saturation, but I could be mistaken. I'll have to try it out!

:mushroomgrow::sunny::mushroomgrow:


I just got some new dyes with so I'll have to try out some of these theories and ideas. I'm starting to feel creative again so it's a good time to dye :awesomenod:

:mushroomgrow::sunny::mushroomgrow:


Ohh! One more thing! I feel like ice dyes have better penetration than liquid dyes. There's just something about the way gravity pulls the melt water and dye powder through the shirt that can't be replicated. So ice dye is another option.

So there's this puppy at the office where I work named Donkey. He's a sweet puggle who I have intrusive thoughts to kidnap whenever I see him. I just finished this to give to him!




It's name is Puppy <3

That donkey is very cute. Good job girl!


Dala,

I haven't used your urea either and don't know much about it. What you explained sounds right though.

Just from hearing that explanation one would think it might possibly help with what we're talking about but I'm definitely unsure.

Also your idea of mixing in the soda ash directly into the bottle also sounds like a good one. Definitely try that and let me know how it works.


Also I definitely had better results when I ice dyed.  However I think I've only done maybe three or four of them and it took me to the fourth one to get it right.

Mostly from trying to figure out how much dye to lay down and then two or three of the times. I completely forgot to lay down soda hash at all.

and of course I never realized it until I was already laying down the ice. :shrug:

For sure once you figure out how much dye is needed to lay down and how to lay it properly then seems like it's easier to nail down compared to liquid.

And the results tend to be much more interesting since you typically get to see the colors that were used to make up the color of dye you're using when doing ice dyes. that's my favorite part.

Are you sure these "intrusive thoughts" aren't just your gut instinct in disguise? They speak the truth. Donkey deserves you. Donkey is your birthright. The ends justify the means. Lead Donkey home.

I will not judge you.

Yeah there's a learning curve to ice dye for sure.  Btw I always soak in soda ash before tying up and ice dying, any soda ash on top is just a bonus. It seems to work well.

I'll let you know how my experiments turn out, whenever I get around to it. Could be tomorrow could be next month :lol:

"I'm gonna pay so much attention to timing today."
then I got stoned and proceeded to pay a minimal amount of attention to timing.

Idk I think your pace is on point. Had time to work on any claymation? Time to admire/study the geometry of a soul in motion?


Here's one I'm working on. LOVE the colors.

Appreciate you bro but its just got sporadic timing and no true impact to the flow/arc IMO. Considering that was the point of doing it, I gotta admit it falls way flat.
Fun though, it'll get there and I'm glad I stuck through colouring it. There are ways to enlist the computer to do some heavy lifting, but I just done it per frame. All in it only took around 55 mins.

Man, even though I understand how tie dye works, there's something so arcane looking about seeing one in progress...
:hypnotoad:
Very pleasing gradient you got going, I'm keen to see when it's unveiled.

:edit: sorry bro I forgot to answer your other bits, had time but nah not done any meaningful amount of claymation since Christmas. Thinking of ideas still, mainly drawing on paper or animating little stuff on computer. And :vaped: haha yeah much admiration & studying of soul in motion

I have but not as much as I intend to once I'm fully done moving. It's mostly been sunrises and wildlife shots so far. There's a huge herd of elk that hangs out next door and they've been fun to document. I'll take some time to upload them here later

Wow, sounds fuckin sweet! I bet they're cool to be near IRL.
:ohwow:
Being done with moving is also sweet... hate that shit so I don't envy you in that :lol:
Worth it hopefully.

It's super cool cause they're getting way closer than the herd at the old place. The move is absolutely worth it though cause the upgrades are huge. The basement is a dedicated music space and there's a separate dedicated crafting room. We were kind of living on top of each other at the old place so having enough space for everyone to stretch out is dope. I'll post pictures in here asap

Sounds like a great upgrade, looking forward to checking it out.
