hello all,
Just got done dyeing my faux clays and wanted to post results for you guys. First of all a BIG thank you to lnaves for all the questions he answered for me. A few observations. 1. I think it is hard to get chips the exact same color. Out of the 5 colors i did the blue and the orange ones were the best other colors I had some problems. I have about 40 chips that are two different shades in the fuschia and 20 in the purple. But overall not a bad outcome. It was pretty easy to do also. Trust me I aint no crafty person or anything like that so I was skeptical how it would turn out.

They look great to me. I like the purple, I didn't do that color...maybe I need to order some more.

I just finished dying some fauxs too, hope to get a thread with some pictures this weekend. It's not difficult to do, just...takes a little practice. I got better at it, the more of them I did.

yeah i got that chipcustomizer program and am going to make up some labels of my own. I think i can do a pretty good job for the amount of money i want to spend.

OT- What "hawks" is your handle referring to?
