Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! 😀

Thank you so much - I'm glad you liked it!

Yes it really does! It doesn't damage the fabric either.

It sounds like your mandala shirt turned out looking cool. I had fun snow dyeing while it lasted, but honestly - I'm really ready for some warmer weather. I'm kind of over winter.

Thank you! I really like the Out White Brite - it removes the color really well and works fast.

Thank you so much!

Thank you! I think the Out White Brite is a great product for reverse dyeing - I'm glad you think so too!

Thank you! If you don't have OWB available, do you have access to Rit Color Remover. It works very much the same way, but just not as fast.

@@FunEndeavors, I cant handle boiling hot water as I've had a stroke and have to use my one good hand to hold cane. I need to find a way to make it work though. Results are clearly better with OWB.

@@lazonfutura2872 I see. Some people who don't live in the US can't get Out White Brite, so I thought that might be the case. It would be difficult to handle boiling water safely. Perhaps using a tea kettle for the boiling water would be a safer option?

Thank you! We don't get much snow where I live either, but this winter has been an exception. It's been kind of fun to get to use snow instead of ice on a few shirts, but the end product is pretty much the same. Let me know how it goes when you are able to do some ice dyeing - I think you will probably end up loving it. I am so ready for summer - I think the heat is great for processing tie dyes and getting vivid colors. I'm looking forward to warmer weather.

Thank you so much!

Ms. Angie I get a brain freeze when it comes to putting my colors together. Please help🤦🏽‍♀️😫

@@ms.bardotb1900 Honestly, choosing colors is one of the toughest parts. I have a tendency to get in kind of a color rut, and so I have to constantly make myself use colors I rarely use. That's one reason why I love my color swatches so much. I can pull them out and mix and match them until I have a color combination that I love. I think one of the easiest ways to choose what colors look best together is by consulting a color wheel. Since the three primary colors of tie dye are lemon yellow, fuchsia, and turquoise - they will always go well together. From there I just make sure that the colors I am using will blend nicely and not form a lot of brown. The hardest colors for me are orange and yellow. I like those colors, but since they don't look good on me - I rarely wear them and in turn have a harder time using them for tie dye. Yellow tends to get overtaken by most of the other colors, and orange is so powerful that it seems to overtake everything I put it on. I lean toward using a lot of red, blue, purple and pink. In general those colors go well together. I really like green too and I usually end up putting it with either blue or yellow. If you are ice dyeing - neutrals or earth tones like the beige/brown or grey/black colors are great to use to separate colors that might not blend together very well. Most of the darker colors have great color splits too so they are always fun to add into a shirt.

I'm sorry that it isn't available there - it really does work really well and fast.

Also did you notice the alien 👽 face in the blue line at the bottom of the shirt at the front. It looed cool 👏🏻👏🏻

@@kazskully8501 That's funny - I didn't notice it until you mentioned it!

Thank you! No, I washed the shirt after using the OWB so it was all washed out. There was the very end of 1 geode poking up from the muck - that was obviously the one.

Yikes! So far I haven't had any issues with the sinew coming untied during the reversal process. I usually leave the shirt tied and throw it in the washing machine after I rinse the Out White Brite out, and I will sometimes have part of the sinew fray or come loose after going through the washing machine. I usually don't knot my sinew either. I just pull it super tight and it will grip itself and stay in place. You're right though, the green won't show over the black so you can just tie them again and apply the dye. Let me know how it turns out.

Thank you! I don't think so if you have added plenty of dye. I know some tie dyers like their pieces to be completely covered in muck. I hope your sweatshirt turns out great!

@@FunEndeavors well my 1st geode didn't turn out that well. I didn't pull the sinew tight enough. I'm so in awe of your talents. I wish I could post a picture so that you could give me some pointers. Lol Thank you for your expertise!

@@shellygoodwin7221 Oh no, I hate to hear that it didn't turn out. Unfortunately, KZfaq won't allow us to post photos, but I have links to my facebook and Instagram account below the video in the description if you use either of those platforms. You can message me a photo there and I would be happy to help if I can.

@@FunEndeavors great thank you. I'm almost embarrassed for you to see it. Lol

@@shellygoodwin7221 you have no need to be embarrassed - I've had my fair share of tie dye flops over the years. I've learned a lot from them though.

No, I don't live in Texas, but it was the same storm that hit both of us. I hope you are doing OK - I know you all were hit really hard. It's crazy how far south the snow was.

​ @Fun Endeavors We were spared the worst of the problems. We had lots of snow and ice, but thankfully, no power outages or burst pipes. Many of our neighbors, though, had water damage. Some were hit with astronomical light bills if they were on Griddy (a variable rate prepaid plan... some ended up with bills in the thousands for just a few days, and this happened even if they were affected by blackouts. We're on a fixed rate plan thru TXU and even though I'm sure our bill will be higher than usual, at least we aren't looking at $5,000-17,000 worth just for a month! Could have been much worse here... for some, it was.

@@meganmcgowan5798 I'm so glad that you are OK. I really feel for Texas - that storm was devastating. Going without power or water in temperatures you all had is horrible. I hope that help will arrive soon since the temperatures are finally starting to rise. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for Spring - I've seen enough snow for awhile!

At the Dollar Store you can buy a small strainer - like the smallest one in this set: amzn.to/3laMsTH You can put a small amount of dye into the strainer and dust the dye through the holes. Kind of like sifting it the way that you would flour. You can sift it into another container and not directly onto your shirt if you are doing more finite dye placement.

Hi Ben - I've actually used Out White Brite on both slightly damp and fully dry shirts, but I haven't paid much attention to the difference. I'll have to pay more attention next time. I agree with you though - a dry shirt probably works best. I've had issues a few times when I used too much sinew and put the lines too close together on a geode. I think there was probably a little bit of wax residue in between the close sinew lines and it didn't allow enough Out White Brite into that area.
