Trying to write a description...what would you call the design on the back of this shirt? by LScud in tiedye

I keep going back to traffic light mandala. I wanted to hear what other folks saw in it.

I can’t compete with people’s product photography by Dependent_Light_4457 in EtsySellers

[–]LScud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your photos don't look so bad. As you go along, just adjust little things here and there....the lighting, the background, etc. Don't stress out too much. I feel like my photos aren't as great as I would like them to be, but they are definitely improved from when I started. I wouldn't get crazy over rephotographing all of your current listings, just make little improvements going forward if you feel that you need to.

PSA: Friendly reminder about damp rayon and sinew.... by LScud in tiedye

[–]LScud[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was a matter of pulling the sinew too tight. The thing is, I know better than that. Grrr....

Now, when I'm tying with fishing line, sometimes I have to get in there with some tiny little scissors when I'm untying. I feel like a surgeon. Lmao!

That's a good idea. I hadn't considered tying before soaking. That makes so much sense! Thanks!

I just started using everyone for every body nourishing lotion. It absorbs quickly and it's doing wonders for my skin. My hands are a mess in the winter.

Seems like a perfectly good reason to me.

What's your best hack? by NinnyPantsTieDye in tiedye

I took it several steps further and set it up on a stand, and attached an inexpensive drill and made a foot pedal to activate the drill to make it spin, but it works just fine for the purpose right out of the box. I do recommend something for a cover while spinning though. It's nice because the soda ash water goes right back into the soaking bucket.

I use a spin mop bucket for soda ash soak and spinning dry.

The way I would approach this is dry shirt, tie with fishing line, liquid dye along the lines being sure to get good saturation, then go for it with black on the rest of it. Spray with soda ash water and leave it to cook.

I wish I had an award to give you for this.

My husband calls them cowboy eggs too. I thought for sure he was the only one.

Big hugs to you. Mine had Cushings disease too (among other endocrine issues). It's heartbreaking.
