My new tie technique for geode tie dye

[@flamesedge12]

Thank you for the tutorial! They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I was never much of a fan of geode ties, until I saw yours in previous videos. The color you can get in the lines, the cold water method, the soft water look (best description I can come up with) of the colors, love your methods. Have attempted a few / been happy with most of them and received compliments on many. Going to try the reverse dye with a couple of black shirts next, the ones you did are stunning. Again, thank you for sharing your process.

[@corkylorenz]

Your comment means a lot to me since it sometimes feels like I’m just flinging info into the abyss. 😅 I’m happy to know that you’ve found it helpful!

[@dianemullet410]

I have never done a geode tie. This inspires me so Ill do this today. Thank you for sharing your teaching! These are beautiful!

[@corkylorenz]

I hope you enjoy the process!! It might take a few tries to get the hang of it. Thank you!

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

Beautiful geode technique. I’ll have to try it someday. I’ve never done the cold water method either. Heck, why not!? Thanks for the great tutorial. Ecru = eh-croo or ay-kroo The silent vowel on the E 😉❤️🌈

[@corkylorenz]

Thank you for the pronunciation help!! 😅 You have so many beautiful videos, it’s an honor to have you here watching one of my vids!

[@trinavilla1113]

i LOVE your cold mist method. i do it all the time now. its so fast and soooo pretty.

[@corkylorenz]

I’m so glad to hear!! Do you also soak in hot water or let it batch at room temp?

[@oolonggone]

If I may, Im going to call it a "Jagged Geode" thank you for this. Ive been trying to vary my ties to get more going on and I think I can use the idea. Off to tie and try!

[@cannabinerd9665]

As someone who theorycrafts a lot about ice dying I'd love to see a tips and tricks video from you as your techniques fly in the face of a lot of the "accepted" ideas I see and read about. I'm also curious on your ideas on dye flow as no one ever speaks to this. Your geodes, as always, are on point.

[@corkylorenz]

Hey, I appreciate your comment. I’m actually starting to dig into dye flow to better understand it. Which techniques did you want to hear more about, in the first part of your comment?

[@pattic.2975]

Great video, very informative! I haven't seen anyone do cold water. That's something very interesting. You're geod ties are fantastic. All your comments are so positive. You're helping loads of people! Thanks for sharing!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@Junk_Cars_Art]

I am OBSESSED with geodes and can’t wait to try your alternate shape!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

[@madfisch473]

NAWW-been hunting for a kenney style tying tutorial and i see this. y’all are on some kind of other level this is too crazy how tf did you do that

[@corkylorenz]

You comment made my day. I have a bunch of tying demos if you wanna check them out. Just get some waxy artificial sinew and play around! Takes a little trial and error 😊

[@ZarpeParadise]

Thank you for showing your wedge technique. I learned to do geode dyeing from you and excited to try this method. Looking forward already day to your next tutorial! Thank You.

[@corkylorenz]

Heyy, thank you for watching and letting me know that the videos have been helpful to you.

[@ZarpeParadise]

@@corkylorenz you have no idea how much!!! Thank You!

[@mamalovinglifesessentials8715]

Yes please more info on dying geodes l! Love it!

[@RandiRavenscroft]

I love your thumbnail for this video!!!! toooo cute!!! youre so creative!! I got rave reviews from so many people over wearing your shirt.. Never have I worn one of your shirts and didnt get at least 1 compliment... haha if youre feeling low wear a corky dye the positive attention will make any bad mood go away in my opinion

[@corkylorenz]

Thank youuuu 🥰

[@pattic.2975]

What a great compliment!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@heebs4068]

Thank you so much for this! They both came out amazing, but i totally see the more crisp lines in the wedge dye! I'm going to have to try it! 🤩

[@corkylorenz]

I hope you have fun with it! :)

[@reneefreidin4813]

Those are really cool. Just a suggestion is to look at natural stone to see which style works best for your color and wrappings. Some stone has a wilder configuration than others. But you're definitely onto something there. Gorgeous.....😊

[@corkylorenz]

That’s a good idea for actually replicating the color placement for a geode slide. Thank you :)

[@timdavis3249]

Great video! Thank you so much for sharing this and I can't wait to see you do this with the red. I definitely will have to try this method. Beautiful ❤️.

[@corkylorenz]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@natalyalevashova463]

Спасибо за урок! Говорят, подражание - самая искренняя форма лести, я никогда не был большим поклонником жеодовых галстуков, пока не увидел ваши в предыдущих видео. Цвет, который вы можете получить с помощью линий, метод холодной воды, вид мягкой воды (лучшее описание, которое я могу придумать) цветов, обожаю ваши методы. Попробовал несколько / остался доволен большинством из них и получил комплименты по многим из них. В следующий раз собираюсь попробовать обратное окрашивание с парой черных рубашек, те, которые у вас получились, просто потрясающие. Еще раз спасибо, что поделились своим процессом.

[@marthalove3784]

Wow! I love this technique!!! I’m definitely going to try it!

[@corkylorenz]

Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy what you try!

[@marthalove3784]

@@corkylorenz OMG!!! I couldn’t stop today! I tie dyed 3 geode shirts today😃… I love the way they look!!! Thank you so much! I’ve been tie-dying of and on for several years, but this is the technique that I’ve been looking for!!!

[@bulletsfordinner8307]

Very pretty and creative ❤

[@corkylorenz]

Hey, thank you so much!

[@marilyn5208]

Love the backs. Not a fan of geodes. Thanks for your process. I don't have an ice maker.

[@flamesedge12]

Thanks!

[@corkylorenz]

Hey! I really appreciate your support!! Makes my day to know that the effort to put out info is valuable to others ❤️

[@stevetheroofguy]

Do you remember the colors you used in the shirt you are wearing in this video? I love the highlighter/vibrant tones where the ties are.

[@carlysellsseashells]

I second this, I’d love to know the colors you used in the shirt you’re wearing please! ❤

[@karenlehnert8333]

Absolutely fantastic! I’ve been wanting to give your cold mist method a whirl! I love the softness of your geodes. How long would you say you soak the shirt in hot water after you’ve dyed it to set it? I’d love to see a video of your favorite color combos too. I’m looking forward to the next video. ✌🏻❤️🤙🏻

[@corkylorenz]

I think an hour is adequate! Thank you! I’ll be uploading more videos with mh favorite color combos 🥰

[@jonathanandgabrielsovereig5051]

Thank you for making this video. I have NOT been loving my geode results lately and I have felt a need to study other dyers techniques. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@corkylorenz]

I’m glad to hear that the video could give you something to try! I hope you find your groove soon so it can be more enjoyable for you

[@reneefreidin4813]

Very nicely done ❤❤❤❤❤

[@corkylorenz]

Thank you for watching! 😊

[@dyedbyd]

for cheap sinew puller, i m using a wooden tart tamper. 2$ on aliexpress :)

[@suneethaudayakumar8789]

Hi, Very nice. If I want to make crystal effect like glazed effect... What I have to mix it??

[@hookedlymesinker5984]

I am inspired by this- Thank you!

[@alvaroahumadaguerra8509]

Hello, I love this technique for coloring fabrics, I just have one question, how long did you leave the paint on the shirt before removing it?

[@natalyalevashova463]

Какой цвет света вы использовали? Это только он и матовая сталь?

[@TrendyMur]

Oh wow 🤩 wonderful ❤

[@corkylorenz]

Thank you!!

[@theguru1824]

I love this tie and cold mist method, Have you had the same luck with both of these on a hoodie?

[@corkylorenz]

Hey! I have a sweatshirt I’m tying up now. I’ll give it a try and post the results.

[@tracyg3736]

Hello and thank you for your video tutorials. I have a technical question for you. When ice dyeing 100% cotton shirts w procion dyes, does it take longer to get more vibrant colors on a thinner shirt than it does on a thicker one? I recently bought some cotton shirts and I'm not get my usual vibrant colors in my end products. Thanks!

[@joyriddle5890]

Oh my goodness!!! These are gorgeous! I love the one with messier lines. Just out of curiosity, what do you do with the shirts that dont turn out well? Can you re-purpose or re-dye it?

[@Spacetwerp]

It may be new to you, but as I've told several people on YT already, I'm 61 and have been doing cold water misting for decades! 😂😂😂

[@corkylorenz]

That’s great! I’m glad it working well for you. :)

[@jeffg4686]

@8:46 - I like that side. I don't like the concentric unless they're really spread out - like only 3, and not loud

[@heathergilker2585]

Do you add the soda ash at the same time as the dye? Or just at the end?

[@sissisquiltandbatik]

Just saw your video for the very first, so beautiful both of them. What a lovely idea to scrunch them up under sinew..ideas never seams to run out of tiedyers😉 did you put soda ash with the hot water at the end? Or something else? Never seen it not soda ashed before "20min" must try it! Thank you for showing🙋‍♀️

[@corkylorenz]

I did put soda ash in the water but sometimes I don’t. I’m not sure if it’s necessary. 😅 It’s fun to see what rules can be broken!

[@sissisquiltandbatik]

@@corkylorenz You are braver than me..I keep thinking I waste a tee..but I do test on pillow cases...got some very ugly=gives nightmares mayby🤣

[@corriedecamp8956]

Where do you get your 5% spandex shirts?

[@racheljellenik8842]

Did you seriously “ice dye,” set the color and rinse all in about 2 hours?!?😮 How has the color held up? If it’s lasting through regular washes without fading, you might be my hero!

[@corkylorenz]

Yes! Lately I put a geode tied item into a plastic bag, then drop it into a bin of hot water (hot from the tap) for an hour. That seems to be sufficient for color retention.

[@racheljellenik8842]

That’s so interesting! I tried just the misting method yesterday and the shirt looks gorgeous, it just never seemed to stop bleeding dye after a TON of rinsing so I let it sit overnight. I’m actually about to wash and dry it now so fingers crossed.

[@vmt151]

What was the light color you used? Is it just that one and brushed steel?

[@Graciousgiraffe]

She shows them at 5:34. She used (from dark to light) Deep Space, Brushed Steel and Ecru.

[@denisebonetti5049]

what brand of tshirt? did I miss it? i just heard you say it has 5% spandex...

[@corkylorenz]

It’s made by Hanes but I can only find it locally in stores these days. In the section for undershirts. It’s packaged with a thin layer of cardboard. I’d suggest pulling the shirts out and checking the seams at the shoulders and sleeves. Lately the quality has been spotty there.

[@Graciousgiraffe]

The light color, ecru, is pronounced eh-crew or a-crew (with a long "a"), emphasis on the first syllable. Both are accepted pronunciation. I've always said eh-crew.

[@bobbhobb8393]

It does inspire to create but I don't like the colors at all I think it looks like a mess completely I like the parallel one better sorry for the negative comments but I just think it looks terrible if I was to do geodes I wouldn't want to use those colors
