Well that took all day haha. I dyed all these guys with turquoise idye poly. I find that it can give results varying between blue and green (sometimes a great deal). I think it has something to do with the temperature of the water. I couldn't get the pot extremely hot, so ended up with slightly more green or seafoam tints to the grey, which is totally fine.
As you can see, I did several attempts at each colour. Since the dye can vary so greatly, I like to do at least 4 of each, so that I can select the one that looks closest to the character. Having these cool greys extra will certainly come in handy down the track. I find varying greys to be pretty often used. It's nice to have them on hand.
- You can see how I dye in full in a past video I made (dyeing minky). After dyeing and washing each piece, I brushed the nap out while still damp. I let them dry naturally, and tomorrow will iron them to get out any remaining crinkles .
