I didn't use printer, mine is for screen printing, is a liquid ink, comes in a jar/bottle. I paid $25.00 for the 8oz bottle I believe. But screen printing is not iron nor done with printer, sorry for the confusion.

Oh okay. Shucks lol I was hoping they made it for the printer. I would love to do screen printing. I see the commercials for the Yudu and want it so bad lol

HELP PLEASE

After stalking this thread forever I finally made our shirts! But my Mickey heads did not turn out so hot. I bought a bleach pen to outline it, but I'm scared to use it- will it effect my other colors? After you do the outline do you wash it right away or do you wait for the bleach pen to dry?
thanks-

 

[PixieDust32]

You can let it dry and then wash.

Was the outlining easy? I have a bleach pen but I swear it wouldn't even get a stain out of a white shirt. I'm tackling this project today! Going to do a trial run on a couple of shirts.

I have one more question! I am doing 2 trial shirts today. The dharma site says I can use the soda ash until it is all gone. Can I save it? Just cover it and put it somewhere out of the way? What about the dyes? Do they need to be stored a certain way?

Yes, you can keep it in a bucket. As for the dye, I never had to keep it very long, I try to mix only the amount need it but you can keep it a bottle, room temperature.

Go Packers! Any packers/Mickey lovers can make these colors... I made this one for a Packers freak friend of mine.

Ok, I am finally posting pics of some of the various tie-dyes I have done over the past 6 (has it really been that long?) years.

Double swirl

Double swirl

Single swirl

Mickey Head--my 2nd set

Dinosaur--same principle as Mickey Head

Dinosaur--the original dinosaur, went back and made some for us big kids too!

Feathering--based on this technique anyway but was using the remaining colors from my first big batch of tie-dyes.

Will post more soon including guitars that I did for our May 2010 trip to commemorate our DS's first RnR coaster ride. Similar to the Mickey head but I free-handed the outline of the guitars.

You're best bet is to PM the person whose technique you like and ask. We all do the same general thing but with some variation too.

Just wanted to post pictures of our finished shirts! I was so very happy and excited with how they turned out! There was another family/group there with shirts very similar to ours!
