The good and the bad

[Ricky Spanish]

Screwed around and got popular enough to attract some hate. It's both weird and annoying.
So? Discovered I have followers?
Maybe they'll follow me here.
Ham it up my Jammies!
Get ready for the pooty tang references and kung pow.
Have fun.
I reserve the right to spew hate back onto anyone foolish enough to get hateful.

I have three grandsons. Two are toddler 4T size.
I'm making their July 4th flag shirts again.
First try washed out and the stripes are pink n red.

Always wondered how that worked, with the kaleidoscope shaped patterns.

This is easy.
Usual pattern is you find the center of the t-shirt. Pinch then grab with needle-nose players or forceps...BRB with a video.

There are harder patterns. Much harder.

This is one of my mistakes?
Yep the yellow got black.

Everything has a mistake.
I dropped dark blue where the turquoise goes..might be a good mistake or not.
Will see TOMORROW.
The hard part is waiting 24 hours to see your work.

Tomorrow I rinse the shirts in water with color safe bleach? Yes. I think the peroxide "sets" the colors.
A little dawn dish soap too.
Odd process but you rinse and squeeze the shirt. The colorfastness prevents your whites from taking dye somehow or your shirt is a wash out.
I've screwed up a couple shirts by being impatient.
If I get hungry I'll sell the "dashiki rasta shirts".
They're cool and pretty easy.
I have a new covered trailer I'll make into a "honey wagon".
Farmers market stuff.
Hippie shirts will attract the right crowd to buy honey I think. Quail eggs too? Hell yeah!

Sorry but you've been notified sir

I thought I'd clicked on a dumb video on cooking a carp. He shears a sheep then a goat.
Holy cow that's a cool tea pot.
What culture is this?
Polish?

This one is amazing and I just got the weird tuck the sleeve inside the sleeve folding style out and why.
You get a different backside! Cool!
Learned something .

The shirt is super bad ass.

Discovered that quite a few of the tie dye channels on YouTube are Phillipino. Try ordering and you need to speak a language that starts with "P".

This joint needs more traffic, offering punch and pie may boost banter?

[Ricky Spanish]

These were done yesterday and rinsed out today.

Been trying new ways to tie.
TV Tie straps work good. REMEMBER THATS AN AUNT BETTY INNOVATION. I do that a lot but most call it " jury rigging things"
The green-yellow one without black dots was tied using them. Not sure where them dots came from. It's magical.

I need a 2X American flag one pronto.

Ok I'll even get a Gilden shirt from Michael's.
I discovered that using a premium brand heavy shirt makes a better project.
Giant size will be easier I think.
Toddler 4T is very small.

Now I forget what I came for.
Bitching about mowing prolly.
Uh...I think you sent me goodies already.
I can do a shirt.

[Ricky Spanish]

They fade a little on the first wash and dry cycle.
Use color safe bleach.

I'm going to have the coolest grandsons on the block.

[Deltaman]

Looks like you are getting pretty good with them!

[Ricky Spanish]

They're all Polynesians...

If I could master this shirt then I'd call myself good.

When asked about a favorite color he said "rainbow black".

Study this lamp.
It is very very old and it has a "masonic" theme to it.
There is stone in the base and that ball is a rock too.

The remains of a good boat seat are resting down there I used the folding brackets to build a dog stand..

Feel the need to point out errors.
The spiral shirt has a brown dot in the center sort of.
That's a big screwup. When dying with secondary colors keep them away from the center or it makes brown.
I knew it and had one wayward squirt and it's all over but the crying.
