Thank you so much - I'm glad you like it! 😊

Love it!

Thank you - I'm glad you like it! I buy the Stainless Steel Lab Spoons from Amazon. Here's a link to the ones I have: amzn.to/2PWq7LK

Thank you! Absolutely!!! 😀

Awesome, thank you! 😀

Thank you! I think this shirt turned out looking really cool.

Thank you! Yes, the material wicks it up and through it. It is fun to see how much muck ends up in the container under the shirt.

Thank you so much!

I'm with you - geodes are pretty awesome!

Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you, me too! 😊

It does.

Thank you, Diana! I really love the way this one turned out.

Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you - me too! The bottom area really does look like some sort of rusting metal which I think is really cool.

@@FunEndeavors yeah really cool effect. So beautiful

@@mcgreggs1 thank you! 🙂

Thank you! That would be a great color combination.

Thank you so much! 😀

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! I love the way the colors blended.

Thank you! 🙂

You can also pull the shirt out of the muck when you see the bottom portion looking the way that you want it to and just place it on a rack to continue to process. I think it would still continue to wick dye even uphill, not as quickly though. I've had the same thing happen with a bag too. The dye really does like to travel and spread out.

Thank you! I love this technique too.

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you! I hope your son loves his.

Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you! 😊

Thank you!! 😀

Yes, that is probably the reason why. I think it's amazing how the dye moves on these gravity dyes.

Thank you!!

Thank you so much! 🙂

*muck

Thank you! When you muck dye, you don't have to build an ice barrier for odd shaped folds. The shirt will also have a bit of a darker feel to it. You usually don't have to be concerned about saturation since the shirt is inside of the muck (you still can have saturation issues though if the shirt was too damp when it was dyed or if there was too much ice added). In this case the muck is what dyes the gravity dye portion of the shirt. In contrast, rack dyeing usually gives a brighter shirt where the colors aren't as muted or muddled. You can add more ice as needed to make sure you have the saturation you want throughout your item. You can also see the back side of the item you are dyeing to check your color saturation.

@@FunEndeavors Thank you so much, that’s very helpful! I started tie-dying in earnest late last summer, and you have pretty much taught me everything I know! Thanks again!

@@timwax7318 You're welcome! That's great, I'm so glad that my videos have been helpful to you. I love tie dyeing and I'm excited to get to share it with others who love it as much as I do. 😀

Thank you! 😊

That is correct, I don't tie a knot in the sinew.

😊

Oh I see, the bucket was placed on a rack. Duh!

Honestly, I just go with it. Since they are such an odd shape it is tough to avoid that happening. It just adds to some of the randomness of the geodes, and I don't think it looks bad. You can spray them with a little bit of soda ash solution that is in a spray bottle to help the dye stick to the top a little better. Other than that, there isn't much you can do to avoid it.

@@FunEndeavors thank you so much!

@@kandlesoup5039 You're welcome! 🙂

I haven't ever tried this design on a printed shirt.

I do! Here is a link to my website: www.funendeavors.com/

Thank you! I prefer the warmer months too for tie dyeing. Thankfully I have a temperature controlled tie dye space to dye in during the colder months, but the hot summer weather is always better. If you don't though, I know a lot of people use heated blankets to warm up the containers that their tie dyes are in. You can also leave your tie dyes to process for longer if the weather isn't warm. Even if it is a bit cooler, putting a lid on your tie dye container and placing it outside in the sun also helps.

Thank you so much.

@@timothyfoster59 You're welcome. I hope you find a solution that works for you. If you live where you get a lot of snow, winter is the perfect time for ice dyeing.

In about 8-10 weeks I’ll probably have more snow than I know what to do with. I for sure will have to experiment a little with some winter ice dyeing. I’ve enjoyed ice dyeing over the summer and have been considering experimenting with HWI I haven’t tried it yet. I’m also going to experiment with using a tote like a greenhouse to keep the heat in. That’s a good idea.

@@timothyfoster59 If you get that much snow, then ice dyeing will be great for you. You can ice dye and then finish your item off with a little HWI if you are concerned they didn't get warm enough.

I'm sorry you don't like it. It really is much prettier in person.
