dyeing a head for fathers day

[aviator]

Allrite, as we all know fathers day is coming up. My dad started to get more into lacrosse in the past few years when my 3 siblings and I all started playing. He usually uses on of my backup sticks when we play catch, and for fathers day I am going to dye and string a cheaper head for him. On the scoop using stickers I am going to write either "Thanks Dad" or "Happy Fathers Day". His favorite colors are green and blue, and he said he really likes heads that are dyed black. I was plannign on either dying it blue, hot glueing, dyeing over with green, hot glueing alot, then dyeing over with black. This will be my 4th dye and first multi color splatter, I just have a question about the order of my colors.


should I go green, glue ,blue, glue, black
or blue, glue, green, glue, black
and should I put the stickers on before the first color or after...

Thanks alll :crazy:

go green, blue, black. use two packets of black

If I were you I would put the stickers on in the beginning because it would be kind of hard to see what it says if it was green or blue. I would do very thin lines of glue while the head is white, and not a lot of it...then dye half the head blue, half green, a lot of glue splatter...then dye it black. Be sure to keep the glue away from the letters. The reason I say don't do blue over green or green over blue, is because it will be somewhat difficult to get the color you want.

why not do the writing in white before you dye it green so it stands out alot more??

and i say put " Thanks Dad"

[laxgoalieking]

go a green and glue faded drip pattern.

i like warrior boys idea. especially cuz since time is running out, his is the most garunteed(sp) for success

Canadian Lax: Same, I was thinking about it and that would be the best

I am just gonna do a 2 color splatter, maybe even leaving out the black just because in my head it would come out better.



My new idea is to maybe splatter fade it (starting at the throat alot of green, less and less, to almost all white, then the blue up to the scoop splattered)

OR just do a 2 color splatter

what iyo (in your opinion) what work better?

There's my Father's Day head. My dad went to Michigan, and likes to throw around so I dyed this for him.
