I found it in his awesome blog. It really fascinates me, and gives me an itch to want to dye some FHZ’s. I would love to figure out how to do this technique. I’m not trying to make any profit off it and don’t want any secrets hidden… I just want a fun project that will actually turn out the desired result. I don’t wanna mess around with super glue and dye hehe… I wanna mess around with dye and whatever makes this effect! So I ask the wonderful modders on Yoyoexpert… Any Ideas? Cookies to the first who figures it out lol… ---

Is that a dye or is it a transitional? I’ve seen a few transitional YYJ that look kind of similar. ---

It’s dyed… some marbilization effect. No idea how it’s achieved, trying desperately to figure it out 😃 ---

The marbling is probably done with a glue mask of varying thickness. ---

Could just ask him. I’ve seen similar effects with a very old technique called liquid masking… basically adding dish soap to the mix to let the dye apply randomly. Never quite this complicated though. Kyle ---

You should check out how you marbalize dyed eggs. I’m pretty sure it’s the same concept. Involves a rag. You squirt dye onto the rag and the rag will blend the colors. ---
