Looks like rays!!!

[@pjs4069]

Beautiful! It looks like a burst of light coming out of the center and radiating outward.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! The center does seem to glow.

[@rockbandmom]

Where can I get hemostats like yours with the black rubber ends? The link you have with this video does not take you to one’s like yours. Thanks!

[@FunEndeavors]

I add the heat shrink tubing myself. I buy heat shrink tubing in the electrical department of either Lowe's or Home Depot, slide a piece of it over each side of the hemostats and then use a heat gun to shrink it to fit. If there is any excess, I trim it with a pair of scissors. There are multiple sizes of tubing and so I usually take a hemostat with me to make sure I buy the proper size.

[@sharylmcdonald7003]

Well I am jealous of all those hemostats. I have one pair to do spirals. I love this shirt. It looks so multidimensional. And the colors are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you so much! I really love using hemostats for mandalas.

[@sdeprez2011]

Angie, quick question about the towel under the shirt. Is that a necessity to color adherence or is it to avoid making variations on the bottom from the grid or what? Ive made two tapestries using this method and love the results so far. Not really sure if i can reuse(after washing)my towels or if i need new ones without dye stains each time. Any advice would be appreciated 🙏 👍

[@FunEndeavors]

I put it underneath to help and promote the dye getting pulled through to the back side. I think it is perfectly fine to use a towel that you've used before as long as it has been washed and the previous dye won't come off onto your new shirt.

[@GOYOSGardenTiedyes]

I love the pattern it’s really cool I have hemostats but not that many YET😁 i use soda ash in the bottles with dye mainly to brake up the dye so it comes out of the bottles easier i seem to make a big mess with the spoons. I really appreciated your videos and thanks for sharing 😁✌️

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! That's a great idea if you do dye application from the bottle. Soda ash does help the dye flow better.

[@stevevanscoik398]

The marigold really dominates even though you didn't use a lot.

[@FunEndeavors]

It does!

[@zalialyon1853]

came oit suoer cool..1st time i ever seen someone incline a hwi dye..thanks for sharing

[@FunEndeavors]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@annjones3672]

It's really good looking! Interesting video!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you very much!

[@jaredb9523]

I put ice on then use a steamer to melt the ice plus mist

[@FunEndeavors]

That's a fantastic idea! 😀

[@justagirlsd3000]

Nice! I haven’t invested in hemostats yet.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! They are a lot of fun to experiment with.

[@MichelleSewsAgain]

This is a cool effect!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you so much! 🙂

[@Zothiqueness]

It looks like sting rays ascending to heaven.

[@FunEndeavors]

That's a fantastic description!

[@WearySecret]

Angie, I need some advice. I'm soaking my 100 percent cotton shirts in soda ash for 20 mins, spinning then using ice dye with Procon MD powder and soda ash powder. After 24 hours rinse in cold water then soak in hot water with a drop of dawn for 10 minutes. My 068 turquoise isn't really taking. In places where I had fuchsia and red I wanted it to mix into the turquoise and make shades of purple. It's not taking like I'd expect. Also, my artificial sinew isn't working. Is there a way to get it wound tighter, or is there a certain brand you recommend. Thank you 😊 💓

[@FunEndeavors]

I'm so sorry to hear you're having problems. Turquoise is one of the Fiber Reactive colors that likes really hot temperatures for processing. Most colors will do fine at 70 degrees Fahrenheit and above, but turquoise is one prefers closer to 130 degrees. (according to Paula Burch's website) If you live in a place that is really hot outside right now, I would cover the container that your project is in and put it outside in the heat for a few hours. The summer heat is perfect for tie dye. Are you using some form of a sinew puller with your sinew? I have smaller hands and I find it easier to use a sinew puller to get a better grip on the sinew and be able to pull it tighter. Also, you can sometimes get sinew that doesn't work very well. I've purchased rolls before at local hobby shops and they didn't have enough wax and didn't work very well. Here is a link to the one that I buy from Amazon: amzn.to/2EF28Lu

[@WearySecret]

@@FunEndeavors thank you for responding. It is in the upper 80s and humid here. We kept everything inside of the garage. Are there any other colors that do not fair well with ice? Thank you for the Amazon link to the sinew. Perhaps smooth needle nosed pliers wrapped in painters tape could pull it taught without damaging it. Thank you very much for the information. Your designs are beautiful.

[@FunEndeavors]

@@WearySecret It sounds like you have it in a nice warm space. You're right though - there are colors that aren't as vibrant when they are used for ice dyeing. Hot pink has been one of those colors that I've had issues with. You can use anything for a sinew puller that will give you a good grip. I'm always surprised at the interesting items people use for sinew pullers.

[@susanjane4784]

I've seen a stained glass window embedded in concrete that had this sort of glow -- the light reflected into the room but also onto the concrete. This shirt is so cool.

[@FunEndeavors]

I bet that looked really cool! Thank you - I really like it too!

[@Suekyle]

[@xd1580]

Que tipo de tijera es

[@FunEndeavors]

They are hemostats.

[@pattic.2975]

I LOVE it, Angie! Again, so many hemos that might prevent me from trying it, not to mention the hot water. That's much too advanced for me. Can you achieve the design without hemos? Probably not. I saw the turtle resemblance first, then saw the 'jewels', it's both! Color combo is good too. Thanks!!!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! No, unfortunately this design really needs the hemostats.

[@AdirondackRuby]

Not sure I love the colors, but I love the shapes and the glowing effect. Like you're looking upwards at a broken Rose Window, so the color is coming through, but so is the sun where the bits of stained glass is missing.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! 🙂

[@Jaxom35x]

Yeah, I can see the turtle shell image. But what came to my mind immediately was a bunch of alien jellyfish heading towards the mothership. I think I have a scifi/fantasy based thinking process. Great coloration, making it look like the center is emitting a bright light to all it's minions to show them the way home.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! I think the center glows too. I'm happy to help the jellyfish minions get home. 😂

[@andreawells641]

Wow!! Like little gemstones! I need to get myself some hemostats! You have quite the collection. Lol Really amazing job.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! Yes, I invested in expanding my collection a few months ago so that I could do more than 1 shirt at a time.

[@vibrantdye]

I've never thought of using the hemostat to hold the dyes!? Such a "duh" moment for me! I'm rushing off to twist a h.w.i. up now!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!! Much ❤️ 😎💨🤙

[@FunEndeavors]

Awesome - glad I could help inspire you! I hope your shirt turns out great!

[@newfreenayshaun6651]

I've been watching for about the last 2 weeks, of course on the thumbnail you can't tell what this shirt is going to look like, but the way you tied it I definitely had to check it out and tune in to see what your results will be. Can't wait till the end of the video.

[@FunEndeavors]

Awesome - I hope you like it!

[@Uniquelyyours1]

Wow, I've never seen anything like that, Angie, it's so cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you so much - I'm glad you like it! 🙂

[@SCOTTIETHOMPSON10314]

Absolutely beautiful! I love the patterns you create with the hemostats!!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you so much! 🙂

[@denisef1684]

I see a beautiful sun burst coming through the clouds. Almost heavenly! I love this. Yes, also jewels shining in the sun. Really nice job Angie! Also, the one blue from Dharma, is that a special order dye? Just curious. Never heard or seen that one before.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you so much! Yes, Blue Kachoo was one of the muck colors that Dharma offered back in the spring.

[@denisef1684]

@@FunEndeavors wow. I wish I had seen that when it was offered! I will have to look more closely next time I get emails for sure!

[@FunEndeavors]

@@denisef1684 the colors went pretty fast.
