Dying Today

[alimar]

With a full weekend off ,, i got round to a bit of dying.

Never used picric before , , so it was glasses and rubber gloves on



Didnt take long for the picric to colour the fritz ,, so once dry got it wrapped up and ready for use



Since then ,, ive had a bitter taste in my mouth ,, thou a few stella will soon dilute taste later


Next up was turning this 16mm blob fritz from this



to this ,, really really black Mosaic






Canny wait to get tying this weekend with it happy with my days work

Alimar,
SOME CRACKING DYING THERE.Really like the pitric colour.
Just be careful with that stuff.Its suppose to be highly poisonous and can explode if it crystalises.
But a good days work there.

And your right about steve partons dyes, they are really good.
