Hi I really like your tutos, thank you. I tried the flower tie, but the middle stayed white.. I tied really tight, and pour the colours and pressed so that the colors would penetrate.. So I I was thinking if tieing too tight might be the problem maybe?
Thank you so much! .... and the one I am wearing while I make the star flower tee is what I call a Quantum Spider V Scrunch and here is how I made it : ua-cam.com/video/V-Z17iLi_r0/v-deo.html and the one I am wearing for the reveal is the Darkside of the Moon tee, it is a stitched design, here is a video of how I made that one as well : ua-cam.com/video/F_wMza2VmQ8/v-deo.html the super speed version of the Darkside video : ua-cam.com/video/ftMG8Ca1RP4/v-deo.html
I don't just like your Videos, I absolutely LOVE THEM! Why? Because, you have taught me and inspired my, talent has grown because of you! I want to binge watch! So inspired, I just invested in a bunch of blanks, and a new Storage Unit to hang my Shirts, and keep my Tie Dye acuterments, Chemicals Dyes Etc, Thank you so much, my Mentor, and Teacher! Blessings to Ya!
I am glad you found my channel and got some help from this video ... I have many playlists full of videos depending on what you want to make... have fun exploring them and ask question if you need help ✌️
I love it! Going to do one today! Picked our design because I like how the petals came out. I'm doing it to mimic a Zinnia or other flower. I grow lots of flowers and they are my inspiration. I've been dyeing since 1991. But haven't dyed much in the last decade.
Thank you and that is awesome... I wish you all success!! and I did a variations video as well on tea towels to show how to change up the positioning of the flower or change the number of petals : ua-cam.com/video/H7qvx7v86oU/v-deo.html .... have fun!! 🥳✌🏻
i just did a twin sheet set with this .. the flower is yellow, orange and fushcia .. in the outside i scrunched it and put turquois, green and purple . i hope they turn out nice .. the pillow i did first and i love it .. but that fitted sheet was a bit tricky ... thank you Mr. Tiedye
I can literally rewatch the same videos multiple times because each time I learn something new! I love how clean the lines are and how vibrant they are! I'd appreciate it if you showed the prep of the tapestry before you tie it! Much love from a fellow Tie-Dye fan💚
Awesome! Thank you! ... I am glad to be of help. As for the prep, I do a pre wash in hot water and synthrapol soap (some dyers use Blue Dawn Dish soap) ... and then I soak it in soda ash for 20 minutes ,... here is a video on soda ash ... ua-cam.com/video/vD1MSB0sAY8/v-deo.html then I squeeze out the excess and then I spin it in the washer to get most of the liquid out, I like my tee and taps to be barely damp when I fold and dye them, just make sure your spin cycle does not spray water as this would dilute the soda ash.... so if it does you can set it to half way through the cycle, or turn the water off to the washer if it is easily accessible
MrTieDye I meant the T-shirt you had on in a video, but it wasn’t YES. It was Dark Side of the Moon album...Pink Floyd. My mistake. For some reason I always associated that album with the group YES. Sorry to confuse you.
OH... yes I love Floyd and I do plan to do a video on that design sometime soon, just gotta get caught up on bills a bit ...... it is a stitched design so you might check out my Intro to Stitching video ..... ua-cam.com/video/fIopj6TZkes/v-deo.html
i dyed many many years ago in my youth. Now as a proud granny I am preparing to attempt it again. I have been watching your videos repeatedly in preparation. Thank you, I am confused about the ash soaking process .Could you give me some pointers. I am truly enjoying your videos.
wonderful ... and yes I will help however I can ... the Fiber Reactive Procion dyes need a setting agent and that is what soda ash is .... I buy mine from dharma and I have a video on how to mix it .... ua-cam.com/video/zeI86jPen5U/v-deo.html ..... one cup to one gallon..... then I soak my cotton items for 20 minutes and then wring out the excess ..... then I use the spin cycle on my washer to spin out even more of the soda ash until it is just damp,(but make sure that the washer does not spray water during the spin cycle as this will dilute your soda ash) this is how I like to tie and dye most things .... and you can save the soda ash for the next time you tie-dye, just put it in a jug... and as mine run low I just add more to it ... hope this answer your question, let me know if you have more questions
Omg mr tie dye could you show us how to do the dark side of moon shirt ilu got on iv had request for then n have no idea on how to get the triangle .. and this tapestry video is gonna up my game so much thank u !!
The Dark Side tee is a Stitched design , here is a video of how I made it : ua-cam.com/video/F_wMza2VmQ8/v-deo.html here is a super speed version : ua-cam.com/video/ftMG8Ca1RP4/v-deo.html have fun with the Star Flower design ✌🏻🙏
Thank you ... the VW Bus is a stitched design and I do have a couple videos to show the process. Once my hand/wrist heal up I plan to make one more stitch video and it will be on the VW bus , but for now here are the videos if you want to check out the process and give it a go now ... ua-cam.com/video/fIopj6TZkes/v-deo.html and here is a more detailed design .... ua-cam.com/video/F_wMza2VmQ8/v-deo.html
WOW!! This is my favorite tie dye video so far of all I have seen. I like how you describe every step and show the finished product. Thank you. Liked and subscribed.
He actually did NOT describe every step. He did not explain what sized sheet was using OR how he folded it. There's a huge difference between hamburger them hot dog, and hot dog then hamburger folds. I've been trying to copy this video for HOURS copying every single step and I can't get my sheet the way he has his. Not enough details of how he folded it to begin with.
@@KaleidoscopeKara I am sorry you cannot get this. He folded the 'sheet' in 1/2 to make a rectangle, then in 1/2 again to make a square so it would fit on his table. After ward he folded it into the 'airplane fold' which is triangle then triangle all on point, folded sides together for both sides. I hope that made sense.
Yeah, I got it now. I kept making a mistake. I used a twin size sheet so I ended up with the 2 star flowers instead of one but if you want, I'll send you a picture of what it looks like. I didnt have the same colors so I had to work with what I had
Thank you and that is a Bright Green that I mixed myself, I use 3 parts Lemon Yellow and 1 part Turquoise .... and that gets me a nice bright green .... add more yellow and it gets even more limey ... more turn and it is a darker green
do you mean the after care of a tie-dye tapestry?? I recommend washing them in cold water with other colors and then in the summer I like to hang them to dry, mostly because I love tie-dye on the line, but it also helps them last longer, but I do put them in the dryer as well
Thank you !! Always look forward to watching your videos so simple to follow 🌈🌼❣️. Do you think you could show one on the Dreamcatcher fold I would be so grateful
Awesome as always. I’m starting out and was wondering how I could put a St. Louis Blues logo in a blue and yellow mandala? Not something I’d generally do but it’s a special request from my wife and you gotta keep them happy!
That design is one that I would either stitch or paint with dye .... so I would figure out how big I want the logo and draw out a circle in that size and then tie it off, add some plain water so the dyes do not creep in and then I would put a plastic bag over that part to keep it white ... then tie and dye the mandala around the circle ... let it batch and then wash, dry and then you can draw out your logo and stitch it OR, after washing, gather and dip the white circle in soda ash, spin out and then let it dry and then you can mix up some thick dye and paint the logo in I hope this helps you create the tapestry your wife wants :)
You can do a King Size sheet just the same way as this tapestry, but, if you want more petals on your star flower, then yes you can do one more airplane fold before you spiral it ... but you will have more layers, so make sure you work at the saturation by dyeing from the top only until you see dye soaking through to the other side ....... Also, you can let it dry for a couple days after it is all tied up and that may help with saturation.
@@craftymom1964 lol ... they can be done, but they take a lot of patience .... for those I start by lining up all four of the corner ... so fold in half tuch two corner in the other two and then those two on top of the other two.... now all four corners are together... lay it down and smooth things out until you have your center spot to start doing the rest of the airplane folds ..... and a helper to hold some of the stretchy edges while you fold the middle helps also ... and you are welcome :-)
@@MrTieDye Maybe I should do the scrunch method in the same colors for the fitted sheet lol. I have king and body size pillowcases as well,and they don't fold up even close to square
LOL... yeah that could be much easier than trying to wrangle a fitted sheet ... as for the body pillow,... you could fold up a corner of each end of the pillow ... the second part of this video shows the airplane folds on the corner of this tee ..... ua-cam.com/video/jCIYEEpzjlw/v-deo.html ... so I would do the diagonal corners
I buy most of mine from Sunshine Joy : www.sunshinejoy.com/Tapestries-Hippie-Wall-Hangings/blank-white-tapestries-for-tie-dye you can easily sign up for wholesale with them to get a even better price ... and they sell a lot of tapestries so they go in and out of stock, just keep checking back Also, I buy some from Bo Dorsey, he is a dyer on FB, but also sew his own tapestry blanks and sells them as well
I stared at this pattern for a year trying so hard to figure it out... I finally did & tried it out but it didnt turn out at all! Came here to see if I really figured it out & I did... I think my problem is it was too thick (t-shirt)... may over dye it with black!
yeah this one is difficult to to a full one on a tee just because of the fold, but I have a variation video where I do it on a tee in to ways... off the corner works pretty good ..... ua-cam.com/video/jCIYEEpzjlw/v-deo.html and yes , doing an over dye on the other tee is a nice way to save a tee that did not turn out... just in case, here is my over dye video .... ua-cam.com/video/CPI_23w6JkY/v-deo.html
I mostly use cotton for my tapestries.... the tapestry blank in this video came from Sunshine Joy, it is number 75902 >>>>> www.sunshinejoy.com/Tapestries-Hippie-Wall-Hangings/blank-white-tapestries-prepared-for-dyeing ........ they have many sizes of white tapestries available for purchase to the public, I also use flat sheets when Target puts them on sale, either the full or queen size, and some times I buy fabric, either from Dharma or JoAnns and cut it to the size I need
Getting ready to start my 2nd star flower tapestry, the first came out awesome, came for a little refresher :) Do you have a video for that Dark Side of the Moon tee your wearing when you reveal those? My brother used to have a store bought tee similar to that, but yours is so much better, would love to see how you made it!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge....
that is great, as for the DSOTM tee..... I hope to make one sometime soon... it is a stitched design so you can check out this into video to see the process if you want ... ua-cam.com/video/fIopj6TZkes/v-deo.html
Hi mr tie dye im from indonesia . i have one question . What liquid for mixing the colour powder . Is that soda ash liquid ? Because my tie dye's is so faded after i rinse it
I mix my dyes with plain water.... but I pre soak my tees in soda ash as that is what activates the fiber reactive Procion dyes I use ... what kind of dyes do you use?? how long do you batch your tees for?? I leave mine for 48 hours as that gives the dyes more time to bond... and I work with 100% cotton tees as these dyes do not work on poly, so if your tee is 50/50 cotton/poly, then the tees will look faded
@@MrTieDye thanks for the answere before . I use the remasol powder for the dyes and i used cotton combed 30s shirt with 100% cotton, and i presoak my tees in soda ash before to. I leave my shirt just 12 hours, maybe its one of my mistakes. But i watch your video, you tie your shirt in dry shirt . Did you colour it after the shirt you soaked dried up ? And what the next step for finishing after the shirt you leave in 48 hour ?
@@arvyizdihar2076 I soak my tees in soda sh for 20 minutes, then i sin out the excess in the washer so they are barely damp, this is how I fold and then dye them while they are barely damp... IF I do a mandala fold, I still fold it damp and then I let it dry out for a few days before I add the dye. ... then after it sits for 48 hours, I do the rinsing and washing, here is my process .... ua-cam.com/video/t0M_nstKkjM/v-deo.html
it is a stitched design and yes when I get a chance, I plan to show how I do it, but for now you can check out the technique I used in this intro video ..... ua-cam.com/video/fIopj6TZkes/v-deo.html
I use cotton tapestry blanks, mostly from Sunshine Joy .... www.sunshinejoy.com/Tapestries-Hippie-Wall-Hangings/blank-white-tapestries-prepared-for-dyeing .... and yes I have dyed cotton flannel... it was white with black design so I dyed it in rainbow and it looks awesome :) .... main thing is that it be cotton for the dyes to bond
most of that it comes down to how much they mix, so I am careful in how I lay my colors down... here is a video where I work with Purple and Orange next to each other : ua-cam.com/video/TAo9BgtpZ2Q/v-deo.html
yes, as you fold it up, you will find the center of the duvet and then just keep folding the airplane folds and then twist it up... I have done a few one rectangle tapestries and they looked great! have fun!!
What is a good brand of dye to use? I just used tulip brand from Walmart for my first pieces since I'm new to this, but would like a good quality dye if I continue to create!
I use fiber reactive Procion dyes ..... I buy mine from Dharma, mostly because I live on the west coast so shipping is reasonable ...... www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html .... but there are many dye laces to buy from, the main thing is to get the fiber reactive Procion dyes .... then mixing them strong enough to get the brighter colors, here is my video on how I mix my dyes .... ua-cam.com/video/3Fj289T6BVg/v-deo.html
I use fiber reactive Procion dyes and I buy mine from Dharma because I live on the West Coast, but there are many supplier of this type of dye and that is what gives me the bright colors
do you mean how long do I let the dye set up?? if this is your question, I let them sit for 24-48 hours after I dye them .... let me know if this does not answer your question
yes I did both tees... the one while I am tying is a modified version of the Quantum Scrunch .... ua-cam.com/video/Q73_2IaOQLU/v-deo.html ...... and the one I am wearing during the reveal is a stitched design and here is how I made it ..... ua-cam.com/video/F_wMza2VmQ8/v-deo.html and thank you... I love what I do
Can you do a Buddha ? Possibly just an outline of one with lotus flower under the Buddha ? That would be amazing to see I'm not sure if u sell them or not but I would be interested if so
yes I can do that and yes I do sell my work ..... are you interested in learning how to make one or to buy one?? or do you want to buy one AND see how I created it?? .... either way I can help you.... also if you want to check out some of my work that I have for sale, here is my website ..... www.mrtiedye.com
MrTieDye I would love to buy one an see how you did it I may try one myself sometime but to see it done an to have a one of a kind artwork from you would be a plus
Great Mark ... I will add that into my list of designs.... if you have colors you want for the Buddha, Lotus or the rest of the tap let me know... or size of tap
MrTieDye let me talk to the lady and I will get back to you on that I know I,wpuld like to have a laughing Buddha and lotus flower but the colors i will need to ask her about
it would be the same way I did this tapestry... the folds are the same no matter how big or small the fabric... the sheets just take longer and more space to fold them up.
this one was about 54 x 56 inches ... I buy a lot of my blanks from Sunshine Joy ... www.sunshinejoy.com/Tapestries-Hippie-Wall-Hangings/blank-white-tapestries-prepared-for-dyeing
@@MrTieDye would the pattern still come out the same on a twin sized sheet? I've tried a couple times to fold it and it's just not coming out the same. Unless I'm making a mistake somewhere
for the star flower itself, I used a lime green that I mix myself (for 16 oz of water I use 3 tsp of lemon yellow and 1 tsp of turq) plum purple and sapphire blue ....... and then for around the edges of the star flower I used cobalt (like navy) and black .... and these are all dharma dyes
Superb 👌👌👌
thank you
Hi I really like your tutos, thank you.
I tried the flower tie, but the middle stayed white.. I tied really tight, and pour the colours and pressed so that the colors would penetrate..
So I I was thinking if tieing too tight might be the problem maybe?
is it weird that I've become oddly addicted to the sound of the kite string tightening? lmao awesome videos. Started tie-dying because of you
Beautiful design. I'm grateful you showed this design in the tee shirt as well! Thank you-
You are so welcome!
It's bloody massive no wonder it took so much die ❤ love watching your videos ....

Do you have to pre wash the tapestry if it’s new?
I wash mine just to make sure to get out any coatings that may have been added at the factory that may interfere with the dyes

If you are going to try this on a king size sheet would you fold it more in the beginning?
You can do a King Size sheet just the same way as this tapestry, but, if you want more petals on your star flower, then yes you can do one more airplane fold before you spiral it ... but you will have more layers, so make sure you work at the saturation by dyeing from the top only until you see dye soaking through to the other side
....... Also, you can let it dry for a couple days after it is all tied up and that may help with saturation.
@@MrTieDye Thank you very much for your rapid response. Any idea for a fitted sheet?
@@craftymom1964 lol ... they can be done, but they take a lot of patience .... for those I start by lining up all four of the corner ... so fold in half tuch two corner in the other two and then those two on top of the other two.... now all four corners are together... lay it down and smooth things out until you have your center spot to start doing the rest of the airplane folds ..... and a helper to hold some of the stretchy edges while you fold the middle helps also ... and you are welcome :-)
@@MrTieDye Maybe I should do the scrunch method in the same colors for the fitted sheet lol. I have king and body size pillowcases as well,and they don't fold up even close to square
LOL... yeah that could be much easier than trying to wrangle a fitted sheet ... as for the body pillow,... you could fold up a corner of each end of the pillow ... the second part of this video shows the airplane folds on the corner of this tee ..... ua-cam.com/video/jCIYEEpzjlw/v-deo.html ... so I would do the diagonal corners
Where do you purchase your Tapestry blanks?
I buy most of mine from Sunshine Joy : www.sunshinejoy.com/Tapestries-Hippie-Wall-Hangings/blank-white-tapestries-for-tie-dye
you can easily sign up for wholesale with them to get a even better price ... and they sell a lot of tapestries so they go in and out of stock, just keep checking back
Also, I buy some from Bo Dorsey, he is a dyer on FB, but also sew his own tapestry blanks and sells them as well
Que lindo !!!
gracias
I stared at this pattern for a year trying so hard to figure it out... I finally did & tried it out but it didnt turn out at all! Came here to see if I really figured it out & I did... I think my problem is it was too thick (t-shirt)... may over dye it with black!
yeah this one is difficult to to a full one on a tee just because of the fold, but I have a variation video where I do it on a tee in to ways... off the corner works pretty good ..... ua-cam.com/video/jCIYEEpzjlw/v-deo.html
and yes , doing an over dye on the other tee is a nice way to save a tee that did not turn out... just in case, here is my over dye video .... ua-cam.com/video/CPI_23w6JkY/v-deo.html
What are the tapestries you use made of? Thanks for all your awesome videos!
I mostly use cotton for my tapestries.... the tapestry blank in this video came from Sunshine Joy, it is number 75902 >>>>> www.sunshinejoy.com/Tapestries-Hippie-Wall-Hangings/blank-white-tapestries-prepared-for-dyeing ........ they have many sizes of white tapestries available for purchase to the public,
I also use flat sheets when Target puts them on sale, either the full or queen size,
and some times I buy fabric, either from Dharma or JoAnns and cut it to the size I need
Getting ready to start my 2nd star flower tapestry, the first came out awesome, came for a little refresher :) Do you have a video for that Dark Side of the Moon tee your wearing when you reveal those? My brother used to have a store bought tee similar to that, but yours is so much better, would love to see how you made it!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge....
that is great, as for the DSOTM tee..... I hope to make one sometime soon... it is a stitched design
so you can check out this into video to see the process if you want ...

Is it possible to use a sheet such as a queen size bed sheet instead of “tapestry fabric “ would this be about the same size/ material?
yes I use flat sheets when I am doing larger tapestries... I like the full or queen size
I made one of these on a sheet yesterday and it came out so nice! Thanks for your videos!
You are welcome, I am happy to be of help.
Hi mr tie dye im from indonesia . i have one question . What liquid for mixing the colour powder . Is that soda ash liquid ? Because my tie dye's is so faded after i rinse it
I mix my dyes with plain water.... but I pre soak my tees in soda ash as that is what activates the fiber reactive Procion dyes I use ... what kind of dyes do you use?? how long do you batch your tees for?? I leave mine for 48 hours as that gives the dyes more time to bond... and I work with 100% cotton tees as these dyes do not work on poly, so if your tee is 50/50 cotton/poly, then the tees will look faded
@@MrTieDye thanks for the answere before .
I use the remasol powder for the dyes and i used cotton combed 30s shirt with 100% cotton, and i presoak my tees in soda ash before to. I leave my shirt just 12 hours, maybe its one of my mistakes. But i watch your video, you tie your shirt in dry shirt . Did you colour it after the shirt you soaked dried up ?
And what the next step for finishing after the shirt you leave in 48 hour ?
@@arvyizdihar2076 I soak my tees in soda sh for 20 minutes, then i sin out the excess in the washer so they are barely damp, this is how I fold and then dye them while they are barely damp... IF I do a mandala fold, I still fold it damp and then I let it dry out for a few days before I add the dye. ... then after it sits for 48 hours, I do the rinsing and washing, here is my process .... ua-cam.com/video/t0M_nstKkjM/v-deo.html
@@MrTieDye thank you my lord 🙏🙏
Love that Pink Floyd tie dye shirt! Can you show us how u did that plzzzzz!!
it is a stitched design and yes when I get a chance, I plan to show how I do it, but for now you can check out the technique I used in this intro video ..... ua-cam.com/video/fIopj6TZkes/v-deo.html
Wanted to ask them same , plz show us
hi, what kind of fabric are you using? I was thinking of a white cotton flannel and making some throws. Have you ever used flannel ?
thanks :)
I use cotton tapestry blanks, mostly from Sunshine Joy .... www.sunshinejoy.com/Tapestries-Hippie-Wall-Hangings/blank-white-tapestries-prepared-for-dyeing ....
and yes I have dyed cotton flannel... it was white with black design so I dyed it in rainbow and it looks awesome :) .... main thing is that it be cotton for the dyes to bond
MrTieDye thanks
How did you not get brown from putting the green beside the purple
most of that it comes down to how much they mix, so I am careful in how I lay my colors down... here is a video where I work with Purple and Orange next to each other : ua-cam.com/video/TAo9BgtpZ2Q/v-deo.html
Can this be done on a t-shirt if so do you have a tutorial for that
yes it can, here are a couple ways I have put the Star Flower design onto a tee shirt :ua-cam.com/video/jCIYEEpzjlw/v-deo.html
Just tried it on a t shirt. Red and blue but some oddball stuff added.
awesome .. I love this design
Just rinsed and washed the t shirt. It came out great. I've still got a long way to go but its fun because you can't really screw up.
You are a genius...
Thank you.... Or it could be the 18 years of practice 😁😎
wow I love Your work
thank you
Will this work on a rectangular duvet cover too?
yes, as you fold it up, you will find the center of the duvet and then just keep folding the airplane folds and then twist it up... I have done a few one rectangle tapestries and they looked great! have fun!!
Yes! I will try, Thank' so much.
you are welcome
How big is the fabric/tapestry before starting to fold it??
this one was about 56 x 54 inches ... but I have also done this design on a tshirt and on bandanas
Teu talento é admirável! Parabéns! 👏👏👏👏
Obrigado
What is a good brand of dye to use? I just used tulip brand from Walmart for my first pieces since I'm new to this, but would like a good quality dye if I continue to create!
I use fiber reactive Procion dyes ..... I buy mine from Dharma, mostly because I live on the west coast so shipping is reasonable ...... www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html .... but there are many dye laces to buy from, the main thing is to get the fiber reactive Procion dyes .... then mixing them strong enough to get the brighter colors, here is my video on how I mix my dyes .... ua-cam.com/video/3Fj289T6BVg/v-deo.html
Super
Did you Say ''If I have to add Lemon Yellow and Fire Red to Light it up with Orange on the dye'' 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

MrTieDye I love your Star Flower Design
I would like to know what type of dye you use to achieve your bright colors?
I use fiber reactive Procion dyes and I buy mine from Dharma because I live on the West Coast, but there are many supplier of this type of dye and that is what gives me the bright colors
About how long do you wait on those for t-shirts? I haven't done one before and want to make a t-shirt like that.
do you mean how long do I let the dye set up?? if this is your question, I let them sit for 24-48 hours after I dye them .... let me know if this does not answer your question
Have you ever done one with Yeng/Yang?
I have, here is a link to my video on the yinyang tee ..... ua-cam.com/video/irdAP7IkwRw/v-deo.html
Can you make a Butterfly 🦋? Aloha from Hawaii
I did a basic Butterfly video a couple years ago : ua-cam.com/video/1pnrU-0kYaQ/v-deo.html
I have also been spun out and am damp 😂
LOL
ooh my god, it was u that made this t-shirt u are wearing? it´s amazing! both of the arts!
yes I did both tees... the one while I am tying is a modified version of the Quantum Scrunch .... ua-cam.com/video/Q73_2IaOQLU/v-deo.html ......
and the one I am wearing during the reveal is a stitched design and here is how I made it ..... ua-cam.com/video/F_wMza2VmQ8/v-deo.html and thank you... I love what I do
Can this be done in a shirt
yes it can ... here is a video to show a couple ways I did it : ua-cam.com/video/jCIYEEpzjlw/v-deo.html
@@MrTieDye Thank you so much!!!
Yes very helpful thank you so much!
you are welcome .... I am loving what I am doing and it has been a great joy to share my knowledge with the World
Can you do a Buddha ? Possibly just an outline of one with lotus flower under the Buddha ? That would be amazing to see I'm not sure if u sell them or not but I would be interested if so
yes I can do that and yes I do sell my work ..... are you interested in learning how to make one or to buy one?? or do you want to buy one AND see how I created it?? .... either way I can help you.... also if you want to check out some of my work that I have for sale, here is my website ..... www.mrtiedye.com
MrTieDye I would love to buy one an see how you did it I may try one myself sometime but to see it done an to have a one of a kind artwork from you would be a plus
Great Mark ... I will add that into my list of designs.... if you have colors you want for the Buddha, Lotus or the rest of the tap let me know... or size of tap
MrTieDye let me talk to the lady and I will get back to you on that I know I,wpuld like to have a laughing Buddha and lotus flower but the colors i will need to ask her about
sure thing .... and we can switch to email as we discuss all of the details or facebook if you have it ... carl@mrtiedye.com or facebook.com/MrTieDye
Can you show me how to fold bedsheets for Flower fold please
it would be the same way I did this tapestry... the folds are the same no matter how big or small the fabric... the sheets just take longer and more space to fold them up.
made this today hope it turns out good!! thanks for the video
awesome!! I wish you success!! and you are welcome
awesome! I cant wait to try this :)
have fun
Love this, do you sell any of your work?
thank you and yes I do, here is a link to my store ... mrtiedye.myshopify.com/
What size tapesty??? They all come in different sizes
this one was about 54 x 56 inches ... I buy a lot of my blanks from Sunshine Joy ... www.sunshinejoy.com/Tapestries-Hippie-Wall-Hangings/blank-white-tapestries-prepared-for-dyeing
@@MrTieDye would the pattern still come out the same on a twin sized sheet? I've tried a couple times to fold it and it's just not coming out the same. Unless I'm making a mistake somewhere
Is that a Pink Floyd tie dye ?
not that I am aware of .... just a fold I discovered many years ago while playing with different designs
Woow.. beautiful
thank you
Which different colours are used can you please tell me
for the star flower itself, I used a lime green that I mix myself (for 16 oz of water I use 3 tsp of lemon yellow and 1 tsp of turq) plum purple and sapphire blue ....... and then for around the edges of the star flower I used cobalt (like navy) and black .... and these are all dharma dyes
tie dye is one of my hobbies l love tie dyeing..
I love it too and have found great joy in helping other people have success with their art
