Hi community!
So I’ve watched the videos about using Rit DyeMore and hot water, and using Elmer’s glue to mask. I have a question about more complicated jobs I’m hoping someone can help with:
Let’s say I have a bright purple and a bright yellow dye and I want to make a starfield with bright yellow stars on purple. I get that I could use Elmer’s to draw stars and then dye the whole thing purple so I would have a nice purple background with white stars.
To make those stars yellow, it seems if I just dip the whole thing in yellow it would also affect the purple parts leaving me with yellow stars and a brownish background (purple and yellow mix).
Would I actually use glue to paint the entire purple surface after that first bath in purple? Like a reverse-mask? Then dye in yellow so hopefully only the exposed stars get that color?
That’s the only way I can figure out how to do it without getting a mix of color on the spots that got dunked twice. I hear a darker color can be used over a lighter, but I would think there would still be color impact.
Anyone know the process for sure? Is it a double mask? Also any other rad dye jobs you can do with delrin? I’ve seen some rad fades!
Tips and tricks appreciated!
