I attach it to my vending tent with reusable zip ties but the right size pipe will fit in a standard flagpole holder.

No, they are 2 different things. Soda ash bonds the color with the fabric while sodium alginate thickens your dye. HTH!

Glad it was helpful!

Me too, I'll carry the things D taught me for the rest of my life.

Glad you liked it!

Good luck!

@@lilgamoma i actually already did it and it came out pretty, i totally didnt manage to do your design but i did a basic skull and filled the rest of the shirt with just random blotches, im planning on wearing it tomorrow ❤️❤️

Glad you enjoyed it!

I totally sang that in my head.

Sure has been! Love me some G.D.

Thanks! I'm going to TRY to get more content out, it's just very hard to find the time.

@@lilgamoma I hear ya..! That’s ok. When you do it will be right on time 🌻 I love your vids! You are an amazing artist and I learn something every time I watch one. I’m currently trying your batik method and starting to get good results. I’m trying to visualize the piece as if it were stained glass.. like where I put the wax lines.. Challenging and fun! Also practicing w Tjanting tools. You are an Awesome teacher! I would love to see you do more verbally guided demos on batik/ TieDye! I hope you have a great day! Thanks again!

I do similar, I kind of think about it as coloring book lines. Thank you so much for the kind words. Knowing that even just one person is learning makes me feel like it's so worth posting these videos!

@@lilgamoma I share your videos with a few friends who are just now getn their feet wet in batik. Your instructional vids will be helping many people for many moons to come🌻 and Thank You for your quick response always. High five and hugs to ya and may your day be as Awesome as Y0U!

I do because I batch ash my shirts so I can use for tie dye or batik, but you can tie it wet after you soak in soda ash. It's really just a matter of preference.

Yes, he and Marsha are wonderful people. I miss him so much.

Glad it helped!

You can if you want it to. :)

Freehand but I use a string to do the circle part. You could print one out and trace though!

Good luck!

Thank you very much!

Thanks. :)

HA, I guess I don't notice I have an accent. But protection is very important if you do this a lot like I do. I find it hard to find time to make videos nowadays but if there is something you'd like to learn free free to let me know.

Thank you, I will try to get more content up.

Sounds like it needs to be tied tighter. I made another video about how to dye one. The link is in the video description. Maybe that will be helpful for you. Good luck with your dyeing efforts!

@@lilgamoma thank you

LOL, beady bear eyes

Happy to help!

The overall dye amount would be the same for what you'd use for regular tie dye. The amount it really would depend on the size of a shirt as a small takes less dye than a xl for example. I couldn't really give an exact amount as I haven't done a single shirt in years and always do in batches.

Can u show how to put wax dye in satin

A long as it's a natural satin or even better silk you would do the technique the same way but you would have better results with acid dyes. Most people that batik such thin fabrics will tack it across a frame for less wax to bleed out and cause large lines.

Yes, it's speed up or it'd probably would have been about a half hour long. But please don't judge your results against mine. When I was first learning I messed up so much. Now I've been dyeing for a few decades but I still have designs that don't come out the way I want but we are our own worst critics. So practice makes progress!

Yeah I'm not trying to judge you. I should have been more clear with my question: where are you putting the dye in the skull? I can't tell where the dye is going inside the face. Yours come out really great, and you're very good at what you do. Any help will be appreciated thank you for your response

Okay, I think I understand your question. So the dye will go on the ties/where you draw out the design. I use washable markers so your dye gets placed directly on those lines. I hope that helps with understanding a little better. And variations always make each one unique. Good luck with your future dyeing attempts!

Thanks

Glad you like it!

You’re welcome 😊

Thanks for watching!

Sorry but I don't even remember. I find lots of random copyright free instrumental music to use for my vids.

I think there are a few already floating around on you tube.

Go for it!

I appreciate that.

You can get soda ash from most places that sell fiber reactive dyes. An alternative is PH+ that is used for swimming pools. It is mixed one cup per gallon of water. And while baking soda is not exactly the same you can literally low temp cooking baking soda in the oven and you can change the chemical makeup (you can google the directions for the temp & time length as I can't remember that at the moment).

If I had more free time I could do a lot more videos.

Sorry, I made this video 5 years ago so I don't really remember. I have a LOT of music in my collection so it's hard to pinpoint.
