Disc Dyes III

Disc Dyes III
After the success of the last few times, I wanted to push the limits a little more with a few different ideas.

Spin Dyeing

I picked up a record player from the green shed, cut the power cable and supplied it with 12 volts. I mixed my dye jars with 50% acetone, and tried out a few ideas. I think there is some decent potential for a combination of stencils and spin dying, and I still want to find a way to do confetti style dyes, I'm thinking a toothbrush to spray the dye on to a spinning disc, possibly with a fan to help get the streaks to occur. I read on reddit that one guy does them using a shaving cream layer, and then adding the powder from a dye packet, which sounds interesting too.

Tri-colour disc dye

Tri-colour stencil, Gold line Lat 64 Fury. 
Latitude 64 - Gold-line Fury. This was a nice white disc, a rather under-stable fairway driver, and one that I tend to use as a roller as well on a few of the Eddison park holes that have low fairways through trees near the middle of the hole. 

It was about the release of the new Star Wars movie, and the hype surrounding BB-8, and I'd seen a few dyes using the droid as a stencil, and decided to follow suit. It turned out quite nicely
