Sounds like I may get off my ass this year and finally do the #Pride flag fishing shirts I’ve been planning for 2 years now.

I should mention they’d be #tiedye too.

I think I can even pull off progress pride, plan below.

I kinda want to go for broke and attempt intersex inclusive.

Shirt acquired. Need to map out the colors of Rit DyeMore I need to pull this off.

Looks like the magic mix is:

Super Pink
Kentucky Sky
Chocolate Brown
Graphite
Racing Red
Apricot Orange
Daffodil Yellow
Peacock Green
Sapphire Blue
Royal Purple

Walmart had everything but Royal Purple, Michael’s had everything but Kentucky Sky. Hobby Lobby was an oh fuck naw

Picking the Michael's order up today, and I'll backfill anything they couldn't get (some were limited stock) at Walmart.

So for the test shirt, I'm planning a gradient of dots made by placing 2 (or maybe 4) drops from a dropper. In one axis the line would be all colors at the same dilution ratio, and the other axis would be all dilutions of the same color. Just not sure which I want to orient on rows vs. columns.

Project #Pride Flag Tie-Dye Fishing Shirt status: 9/10 colors obtained!

Poll here, do y’all think this would look better with colors on the horizontal axis and dilutions on the vertical (one color per column, same strength per row) or vise versa (same strength per column, different color each row)? Making it approval voting 😉, this is not a FPTP safe space. Keep it open a week, but I may act before then.

If you’ve voted (or not) see the visualizations below!

Responses and boosts for visibility appreciated.

Well, only one vote but I’ve secured all supplies. Probably making this happen tonight, strike while the hyper-fixation is hot.

Correction, not tonight. Kiddo dragged out bedtime for an extra hour, and I burned too much energy on the visualizations while that happened. Instead I grabbed a dial grill thermometer, calibrated it, and added it to the lid of my steamer pot. Now I can more accurately maintain chamber temp while steaming/setting the dye in the material.

So for starters, I went to the store and bought a BBQ grill lid thermometer. I brought it home and noted that it was larger than any drill I had, so I took the nut off the back and used it to make a template on adhesive paper. I stuck this to the lid of my project pot, lining it up with an existing ding in the enamel.

Then I took a 1/16” HSS drill and some 3-in-1 oil, and drilled out the inner perimeter of the template. Then I used my 1/2” bit to drill a hole big enough to fit the tinsnips through, and cut out the rest of the circle.

Finally, I inserted the thermometer through the hole. Not perfectly round, but close enough on size that I had to screw it in. Then I tightened the backing nut, and ta-da, working lid with thermometer.
