I'm undertaking an exercise in pain and I figured you guys would know the most about it. I'm trying to dye a shirt in gradiated monochrome levels, but ideally it would be done with precise, clear lines to each level. Something like pic related.
I've seen a lot of batik style tutorials, but has anyone made dye-paints? Possibly using some sort of thickening agent (flour? Cornstarch?) to make the dye solid enough that it doesn't bleed into the surrounding fabric while it stains. Your tutorials have silk paints, but that's not really what I'm looking for. Maybe I could just put a resist on a huge block of the fabric at a time, carefully dye no further than that line, and wash it out and repeat as needed?
If that's fucking stupid, please just suggest to me your best dyes to use for a man's dress shirt, and I'll easy mode hombre the thing I'm trying to figure out. I have some fabric scraps I'm going to be testing this out with to start anyhow.
...also if I'm dying a shirt, I probably have to watch out for the buttons, don't I? Fuck.

tl;dr
can i make dye paint??
what's gud dye?
Also I didn't see a help thread, my bad.
>>
>>9051604
I actually learned how to do that in a class in college but it's been so long I can't remember if the dye was mixed with anything to make it not run. All I remember is painting the fabric with the batik dye and then throwing it in the microwave to set it.
I think the most precise way would be to silkscreen or digitally print on the fabric first and then make a shirt out of it.

On parking: i paid 15 at red deck, but the employees seemed to have no idea how their price structure works. They told me they dont even check cars at night for tickets, the ticket booth lady said they did not have overnight. I'm wary about buying a con pass that may be worthless.

So when and where are the meetups?

Previous thread: >>9001798
Last time we discussed the eternal hotel reservation drama at Abunai, how much we hate special snowflakes who use autism as an excuse to get a room, lolita meetup etiquette, experiences of both Under the Sea and Japantag (DE), and Nishicon's retarted hotel prices. We also shared a massive amoutn of (poor) advice on how to get some cock and/or pussy during cons. Turns out you have to be active instead of spend all your day hoping for that cute (fem)anon to come to you.
Convention news and agenda up to August:
>YashinCon (May 27th, Tilburg) is a cosplay meetup where you can spend €8 to try on sweaty cosplays that don't fit your body. Fun!
>Animecon (June 10th - 12th, the Hague) is almost near. They changed and left out multiple events so make sure to check the schedule in advance. Tickets are also still available for those interested.
>Tomoplay (July 2nd & 3rd, Berghem) is a retro, card and board games related meetup. Tickets are €2,50 (€5,00 incl. bus).
>Castlefest (August 5th - 7th, Lisse) is an outdoor fantasy convention. Tickets are currently on sale starting at €21,95 per day.
>Abunai (August 26th - 28th, Veldhoven) is the other big Dutch anime convention. Hotel rooms are sold out and day tickets are running low, so make sure to buy your tickets while you still can.
>Amsterdam Comic Con (August 27th - 28th) is a comic convention much like DCC, only bigger better and stronger. Tickets start at €15 and are currently on sale
>If there are any conventions or events I missed, which I did, feel free to post it in the thread and I'll include it in the next OP.

>Hey OP, whats with the Strawpoll?
In the previous thread we (shortly) discussed the possibility of doing a secret meetup at Animecon. I figured adding a Strawpoll to the OP would be a great way to see if people are really interested. I'm also considering adding relevant Strawpolls to future OP's (i.e. "How was Animecon?") as long as people don't complain about it.

What're you wearing to animecon?
I'll be going in my normal clothes, hesitatingly trying out the 18+ speed dating.

>>9023405
Probably regular clothes, although I'm rushing an EVA-01 costume using foam (body), worbla (head/helmet), and a black skinsuit to hide my skin around the joints. Although honestly I doubt it will be done in time and only agreed to it as someone challenged me to finish a costume in two weeks flat. I just want to win that bottle of Hertog Jan Grand Prestige damnit!

>Favorite sheet masks?
I'd like to get a couple for days when I want a pick-me-up. I'd like it to be moisturizing, I have combo skin but am wrangling the flaky areas on my forehead, nose and cheeks slowly. My skin is also sensitive as well, I tried some nugg masks before (except they were the clay kind and more gel-like ones you smear on your face) and they irritated me to all hell. I have a Japanese rose-scented one that's alright and Etude House's moistfull collagen and that doesn't bug me, for reference. I would just like some easy sheet masks for pampering now and again.

i was actually going to make a skincare thread today, thanks op!
side note to the kinds of people who will be posting in this thread: please stop recommending coconut oil as a meme solution for every skincare issue, it's highly comedogenic and can break people the fuck out and give them body acne if used on sensitive areas of the body which are prone to breaking out.

So I bought DHCs deep cleansing oil to try the double cleansing method and I'm not sure how to proceed from here.
I tried it for the first time while i was in Japan. The first two nights I idnt notice anything bad. Then the last night i was there, after using it my face felt kind of cloudy, for lack of a better word. I guess its possible I didn't get it all off but I washed with cetaphil afterwards. Anyway tje next day I woke up and my face felt strange, like my eyes were puffy and my face was dry. We spent the rest of the day in a plane onthe way back home and the dryness intensified to a crazy extent. Once home the dryness turned into a while bunch of red bumps, like under the skin pimples. After a few days of no makeup, no cleansing oil, and diligent skin routine adherence, my skin is back to normal.
Idk if this whole ordeal was due to the DHC oil cleanser, changes in climate,travel, or even using a shitty sunscreen more frequently than my skin is used to .
So I'm not sure if I should try again with DHC, try a different cleansing oil, or stick to my previous routine. Any advice?
What are you working on and for what?

I honestly don't know what kind of answer she is expecting.
Shouldn't you want to support the clothing lines that started the whole fucking thing?
I wouldn't stop buying Oreos just because there's 50 off brand ones out there too.

Now I'm craving for Oreos. I tried an off brand and it just wasn't as good. It's was like wearing Chess Story instead of Angelic Pretty cause someone told you that Angelic Pretty was being made in Mexico.

Hello gulls.
Is been 15 days since I paid for shipping (using Buynosaur) and I never got any tracking number; I tried to message them but I nver got a response. Usually they take 6-8 days to answer (what the actual fuck, is this a joke?)- But 15 days seems even more excessive than usual. Should I file a PP claim or keep trying by chat and email?
Really, I'll never NEVER use them again, holy fuck.

I believe stated in the previous thread, they have one person working the whole thing? Or less than 5?

Can we get an armor thread started? Haven't seen one in a while.
What materials do you use? Are you looking into trying a new technique? What new armor project do you want to start that's intimidating you? Have you found a cosplayer that is inspiring you to go further?
Armor free for all go!

If you're looking for some pretty cheap foam mats to build off of, This site :

Has them for 1.21 on their 50% off sales per square foot. Definitely worth looking into if you're kinda broke.
