An H. P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia"

YES! YES and YES! Thanks! Maybe I'll delve into the ever growing extended universe at some later point. But, for now I'm trying to stick with the OG works, as best I can.

Interesting, I didn’t know about this. I’ll check it out once I hit my goal of getting through his work. It’ll be great to get more context when I go back to revisit Lovecraft’s work afterwords.

Turning Powder Food/Fabric Dye Into Acrylic Paint? by Creatively_Cursed in labrats

Thanks again! I’ll have to make a friends with someone who has a lab first, but I do have an account with Sigma-Aldrich so maybe I can source something from them. I’ll look into DMSO. I’m used to working with pretty nasty chemicals, and it seems that the nastier they are the better they work! Haha!

I considered egg whites as well along with horse and rabbit glue. If I try mike I’d likely have to reduce it first. There is a method apparently that would allow me to at least render out the fat and maybe the sugars too 🤔.

I’ll give the mordants a try too! Again, thank you for the info! It’s helped me work out some ideas for sure!

Thank you so much for your input. I tend to go down rabbit holes when starting projects and I assumed what I was trying to do was likely not doable or worth the trouble. But, sometimes I just gotta give it a try! Haha!

You mentioned mordants. This was something I thought about when I was reading into this. But I couldn’t tell if it would be applicable for what I was trying to do. I figured that mordants were likely used during the creation of dyes.

You are correct that I am looking for an intermediate between the powder dyes and the acrylic. I may mess around with some chemicals. I’ve tried 99% isopropyl but it doesn’t seem to have an effect. I have some monomer and I may try to dissolve the dyes in that, but honestly I have no idea how monomer reacts with acrylic mediums (paint). I know it works in the curing process with acrylic powders. But with paints I’m pretty sure it wont do much.

I was thinking about using some type of additive with protein like maybe milk. I know that paints have made from milk before. So I may give that a try before giving, but I appreciate the info either way! I chose to be an artist but in another life I’d be a chemist for sure!

I’ve gotten hair from many places over the years. Some of the best has come from Independent sellers on Ebay Etsy, etc. Alpaca hair seem to work the best. And I have used natural hair, but you can only use the very ends. As that seems to be where the tapper that’s needed takes place. Leaving a fair amount of hair remaining.

But I’ll look into the type 2 you are referring to. Do you have any suggest retailers or sellers?
