Experiments in dye

Dye somehow never quite turns out how you think, hence this page. Also, after dyeing, RINSE OUT YOUR DYE PAN!!! I mean boil water in the pan, then tip out & rinse in hot water. Otherwise residue from your previous lot WILL contaminate the new lot (a real pain with the likes of Kentucky Sky!!!). Here are a few of my experiments in dye, as demonstrated on Discord.

Successful yellow (drop of sandstone helped), also featuring orange & red
Posted so it helps others with some of the basics.

Note: Apoxie dyes well unless you're using Royal Purple, then it dyes a different colour (ink blue). Be warned!!!

More to add to this thread!!! Left Pony: green & my "yellow" (see above) in two sepatrate dye baths to make a truer green. Right pony: red & purple in two separate dye baths to make this burgundy.

And here I dyed: Irukandji (pink), her shell (green, note it turned out a pale green), & the glow in the dark hair (yellowish). The purple hair is just a shade I selected to go wi the rest of her bits.

Oh this is a great thread! I love the dye jobs on these ponies!

Can’t wait to see final results!

I figured other people could learn from my mistakes & discoveries so put a thread here!!! Also anybody else who dyes can post here to share their experiences

I'm loving the hybrid pose unicorn!

Sweetiebelle head, Puzzlemint Body. Easiest way to make more G3 Unicorns is merging Sweetiebelles wi other baity G3s; that gives me a unicorn & a G3 Boy!!! I can make horns out of Apoxie, but they fall off & need reglued... (not to mention the purple issue)

That particular unicorn will be Yule Log, to go wi Snow Ell the pegasus & all the earth Winter Ponies

Jet's guide on how to make black. I used: Midnight navy, then orange, then graphite to make a true black. The first two colours combine to make a very dark brown, but get the graphite strong enough & it makes that a perfect black. Jet the Halloween cat was my "volunteer" in helping wi this.
