I thought it would be cool to have a thread dedicated to our personal projects - things we've made from scratch, heavy mods, etc. I know I've seen a bunch of posts on the topic around here, but maybe this could be a general spot for experience / insight / questions - you know, for legit Makers like @stevekas and stinky, as well as the Fakers, like me (and you). Also, it seems a lot of us have similar taste in modifying our duds, so this could be a lot more valuable to us than, say, instructables or ehow. --- Recently I've been inspired by Kapital's use of kakishibu and sumi ink to dye their garments - and i know some of y'all have gotten awesome results from using kakishibu. But what about sumi ink??? I'm thinking about dyeing some of my stuff a nice gray.. but I can't figure out where to buy, or how to use, "sumi ink" anywhere... Anyone have any insight, experience, or alternatives?

I'll hook you up with some instructions. I'm fairly sure it's as simple as "dunk it... Let it dry" tho.
Also, beware..... There are SEVERAL colors of it. Not shade, COLORS.

Haha- yeah i saw some purpleish shades favored on such sites as Pinterest...... not a fan of a lavender workshirt! haha. @untucked any idea where I can order some from in a proper color? When I've searched for sumi ink dye before, all I come across is actual sumi ink.. i.e. basically black.

That's the popular, proper color when people simply say "sumi ink". But, I'm sure it's on Rakuten. I'll have the gf find it, and I'll post the link
