• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I did.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_01: I did.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_01: I had so much fun, and then I started buying the professional dyes from the dye houses around around the country and or around the states, and yeah, yeah.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: So uh so did I did you learn on YouTube how to tie dye, or I mean how how did you come upon that?
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: YouTube, there's um there's a lot of uh videos out there, um, a lot of groups on Facebook, um whatnot, that to tie to tie the different dye placements and whatnot.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: Right on, yeah.

  SPEAKER_00: I I see that you do like ice, you put ice in there.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: That's I've never seen that.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: That's pretty interesting.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, ice creates a beautiful effect.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry?
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_01: Ice creates a really different effect compared to the liquid.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, it does, and then yeah, so it's kind of like a like a I don't know, like a goldish type, right?
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: Is it that is that what it leaves?
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_01: Um not so much a goldish effect as um like and it leaves like a watercolor.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_01: It looks like a water, yeah.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: Awesome, yeah.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: Use the ice, the way it's and and the slower the better, where the ice is concerned.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_01: It it just it leaves leaves a different effect altogether.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, and then I noticed too that because when I think of tie dye, I think like just the swirl, you know.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, no, yeah, ties come a long way, yeah.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: So so I mean you do more than that.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: Like you have like uh I don't know, they look sometimes they look like checkers and stuff like that.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: Checkers, stripes, um mandalas, um just they've there's so many different uh designs that you can do nowadays that yeah, it's it's come come a long way since the 60s and 70s.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I at that time were you were you into like tie-dye and stuff like that?
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_01: No, no.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_01: Um no, I didn't do wasn't into it then.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, yeah, just something just like I said, the past um six, seven months that I've been doing it.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: That's nice, and uh uh I think your tagline is dying dying the world or something every article at a time or something like that.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, exactly.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: So so what do you like?
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: Do you just find pieces of clothing and just hey, I'm just gonna dye this, or I mean, how do you what's your creation process?
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_01: Um well occasionally my my oh my daughter-in-law helps me out a lot.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_01: I couldn't there's a lot of stuff I could not be able to do without her.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, um, we'll go to either a lot of the stuff is new, but I do like to hit up the uh secondhand stores.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: Um it needs to be it's the ideal fabric would be um all natural, like a cotton or a rayon.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: Natural fibers work best with the Procyon dies.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um and as long as um it's in good condition, you know, just wash it in hot water.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: I shrink the crap out of everything.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so um why do you so why do you do that?
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: Why do you shrink it beforehand?
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_01: Um everything needs to be washed in hot water, especially new items, because the uh the manufacturers and stuff use what's called sizing to make sure that the clothes are cut to the well to the sizes, it helps them with getting them um cut correctly, and chemicals to keep them um free stuff in the stores.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_01: And if we don't remove those from the clothes, they won't um dye correctly.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, wow, that's amazing.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: Like even your shirt there.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: I had found out that you had to dye the black pieces first because it's a it's a black shirt, correct?
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, that's awesome.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: So polyester would be difficult.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: Is it have you dyed like poly polyester blends or anything like that?
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: Um, it depends on the amount of polyester in it, it has to have some amount of cotton, um, anything, anything more than 50% polyester, there's no way it would touch.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, that's so interesting.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and so so for like shirts like that, if they have the ink on there, the does it matter the type of ink that's on the shirt before you dye it?
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_01: Um yeah, yeah.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I I can usually tell just by filling it if I'll be able to die over it or not.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, that's awesome.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's awesome.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: So uh so you started, so when did you decide to start like uh selling your your pieces on like on Etsy and stuff like that?
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: Because that I mean it goes comes a long way from just stumbling upon it and then like, hey, I'm gonna sell this, you know.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: I I had to do something with everything I had around.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: I had too much crap around.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going, I really need to figure out what to do with all this stuff.
• 7:36

• 21:30
  SPEAKER_00: Like, like say, oh, I want it to be like this, and this is what I need to do exactly to get it done.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_01: Um let's see, how do I the yes and no?
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_01: Tie dye has a tendency to have a mind of its own.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_01: Um in the words of Bob Ross, there are no um mistakes, only happy accidents.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_01: Um it just it's I I can try to get it perfect, but but there is there isn't such a thing.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_01: Um it's very interesting.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_01: I mean you can put the colors.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_01: That's why that's why I try not to take custom orders.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_01: Especially people see something that they um like in in a magazine or in in a catalog or in a store, and they say, can you do this?
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_01: Nine times out of ten, it is something that a uh machine has done, a a print.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_01: And it's like I can try.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_01: But it's not gonna look like that.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_01: I can get it as close as possible, but the chances that it will look like that are going to be very slim.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, that's yeah, every piece is is going to be unique.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_00: That's pretty cool.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_00: I like that.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_00: That's pretty cool about tie-dye.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_00: There's not one that's gonna be the same unless it's a print.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_01: Oh I can guarantee it.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_01: You could use the the two people could do the same dye, same placement, and they're going to be different.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that makes sense because uh it's like liquid dropping liquid, basically, liquid has a mind of its own.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_00: That's very interesting.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_00: What what type what type of material is the dye?
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_00: Like what's the what do you call the the actual dye?
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_00: Is it does it have like a certain name, you know what I mean?
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_01: It does.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_01: It's uh Procyon.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_00: Procyon.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_01: Procyon, correct.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_01: And it requires uh soda ash.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_00: Soda ash.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_01: Soda ash, which is uh sodium carbonate.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it uh it actually reacts with with the fiber to to so it will bond with with the material.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_00: Right, wow.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_00: So it bonds with the material and it becomes the material, essentially.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_01: Correct, correct.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, that's so awesome.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_00: That's like mind-blown.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_00: So is it does that does that involve like alcohol?
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_00: Like some type of concentration of alcohol at all?
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_00: Do you know?
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_00: No, no.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, interesting.
• 24:35
