XL UV Reactive Side Octagon (Psychedelic Vision Palette)>{16/4} Hexadecagram (Ethereal Pulse Palette)/Pac-Man Honeycomb (Rainbow)/Black Filler Tie Dye on a Gildan Ultra Cotton PFD (Prepared for Dye) T-Shirt* that was dyed using the "Pariah Method": The item was not presoaked in Soda Ash solution. The Procion Dyes (This piece was dyed, in part, using the only dye that is both UV Reactive and Fiber Reactive. Remazol Luminous Yellow FL AKA Psychedelic Sunshine. A Vinyl Sulfone reactive dye. Great effects in blacklight!) were applied to the tied-up shirt and then a strong soda ash solution was applied after the dye was applied. It was then "batched" as normal for 48 hours before washout. This one has a glow in the dark HTV Dave's Dyes ambigram logo ironed on to the hem of the bottom. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Wash with like colors in cold water for first few washes.
*There was an incredibly minor little defect on this shirt that I patched up. Most people probably wouldn't have noticed it. On the back side, in the section where the UV dye is around the octagon, a single thread was broken from the knitting. I patched on the inside with fusible bonding web and fabric stabilizer. See pics.
This piece of tie dye artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity, printed on quality parchment paper for certificates, by default from Dave's Dyes. From now on (starting 5/11/25), any newly created item priced at $150 or greater, will include a certificate of authenticity which will have information about the work, a photograph (at least one) of the piece and will have a unique identifier that will be written somewhere on the art with archival quality ink and will match the identifier on the certificate. Both will also include the artist's signature. Certificates of Authenticity are also available for work done prior and for items marked at lower than $150, upon request. I’ll try to make it an option on my stores. For now, message me to request one. Now all certificates of Authenticity come laminated!
