Made another one of these. The people keep asking for them, so i’ll keep making them. Love the technique process getting the fade right. Probably going to make some other color combos in the future!
Front/back/neat little details.
This didn't turn out how I thought it would, so of course, I'm immediately on the fence. It's giving death metal band logo....not saying that's a bad thing. Not super happy about all the white, but also not mad about it because it landed kinda cool with the other colors.
Folded in half down the center, rolled from the bottom corner, tied with fishing line in kind of a honeycomb fashion, liquid dyed, pariah method.

pretty new to this, tried a couple mandalas, came out not so great. how do I get the dye to better penetrate into the tightly bunched areas of the shirt? should the dye be thinner, or the shirt be drier, or both? these shirts were damp but definitely not too wet. should I use dye with less urea or just add more water? anything else I'm missing?
Thanks!
I wanna try out some ice dye and was now wondering what way was the most efficient to get the larger amount of ice needed for it. Do you just have a lot of ice cube molds or an ice maker or do you buy the big bags of ice at the store?
First time ice dying, deity roll in mindbender x and a chaos roll i think in arctis luna
My first glitch! I need real sinew lol
Also not an easy fold!
And side kaleidoscope 😀

u/TastyTrades went quiet for eight months and came back swinging: "This earthy geode came out so vibrant!" pulled 950 pts, then this week's rainbow geode landed at 600. Two of the best scores in three years on the sub, both in the first six weeks back. 🤩

Reworked the /community page this week. It now tracks the top 10 posters and top 10 commenters by score over the last 30 days, so it's easier to see who's been most active recently instead of just staring at all-time totals.
Each name links through to their full profile page too, every post they've made and their stats broken down.
I'm still figuring out what's useful here vs. what's just numbers. If there's something you'd want to see covered (a technique that's been everywhere lately, a creator worth spotlighting, a question the sub keeps circling), drop it below, please. DMs are open too if you'd rather not post publicly. "How can I help?" is my favorite question to ask.

Really happy with how this turned out. I will definitely use this color palette again!
So, I made this one and another one with my name on it! I made them for my boyfriend and I to wear to shows and stuff!! I got the letters, of course, from Walmart and they aren't the best in the world but they work for the purpose for a little while. I think it came out oh so cute! I absolutely love how the double Sidefan came out too! I'm obsessed with sidefans now! ❤️ What do yaull think? I plan on getting one of those cricket machines for vinyls and stuff so I can add names to shirts or lyrics or whatever. What do you guys think??!
So I have this band t shirt that somehow ended up with stains all over it so I decided to dye it
Overall I’m happy, I didn’t realise there would be so much white areas I thought they would just be lighter blue
I did very little research just bought some ritt dye (which I then saw later isn’t good for tie dye) followed on of the many instructions on their website (they all seems to be different to achieve the same thing?). Used a water bottle with sports cap as the bottle and did use the ritt dye fixative thing.
I don’t mind if it bleeds more in the wash
Was a fun process and I caused surprisingly little chaos, if I was clever I could maybe get it so their isn’t such concentrated colour behind the print but now I have a t shirt that previously I wouldn’t wear because of the stains but I will definitely wear this
