Hello, Angie! This looks great, just like the other one that you used the ice dye method on. I have two questions for you, I want to make this design for my mother.. Is there a way to do the mandala design without using hemostats? I only have 2 so far and I would probably want to have mine turn out the same as yours. Without hemostats, would there be less distinction between colors with lines? My second question is; did you cover this somehow to keep it moist or did you leave it open to air because of the hemostats? Thanks! I love your videos, designs, and the help you give to the rest of us! Nicole

Thank you - I'm glad you like it! You can tie a regular mandala using sinew, but there isn't a way to make a mandala look quite like this one without using hemostats. Hemostats give the mandala a very unique look. I don't usually cover my hemostat mandala shirts if I leave them indoors to process. Sometimes if they are inside of a container I will lay a lid on top of the container, but usually I just leave them alone so I don't disturb the hemostats. I add Urea to my liquid dye which helps to keep the shirt from drying out while it is processing.

FYI you don’t need to soak in soda ash for that long. Just needs to Saturate for a couple minutes ❤

[@FunEndeavors]

You need to make sure all the fibers of your garment are fully saturated.

[@therusticfarmco7642]

If you don't have hemostats can you draw your lines?

[@FunEndeavors]

The hemostats give a very unique look to a mandala that I haven't ever been able to get just using sinew. If you want to tie a mandala and use some sort of ink or dye to draw on a design after the shirt has been dyed - I guess that would be possible. I've never tried that though.

[@therusticfarmco7642]

@@FunEndeavors good idea

[@miaomiaochan]

I tried this method and ended up with colors running into each other during the dyeing process, ruining the design somewhat. What am I doing wrong?

[@FunEndeavors]

When you use liquid dye, you have to try to not over-saturate an area. Sometimes it is easier to add a little dye, move on to another area and then come back and add more dye to the first area if it still needs it. I think when the shirt is too damp, the colors tend to move a lot too.

[@ameliebolduc1760]

What's the name of your kind of scissors?

[@FunEndeavors]

They are locking hemostats. Here are some links to a few different sizes of hemostats. I usually coat mine with heat shrink tubing to avoid them ripping holes in the shirt. amzn.to/2QowKnk amzn.to/3wbKAMH
