actually, I have a question. At a art Gallary I saw denim jackets that looked like leather. They had been dyed with something, and the acrylic paint designs were added. I don't know if it was a winecolor over the blue, or if brown was used. Anyone tried this already?

YAY! I love this link! I am a dyer for theatre and i constantly use RIT dye. Usually I do lots of swatching and experimenting- but the discovery of this may have just changed the way I dye!

Loving all the dye projects lately! Your whole dip-dye issue is amazing.

I've been dying plastic eyeglass frames for years! For most glasses, when you buy new frames you need at least two weeks for the frames to sit in a tepid concentrated dye/salt solution before you have the lenses put in. Of course, since I wear glass transition lenses (the glass doesn't absorb the dye), I just plop my new glasses into a container with salt, dye and a little cool water and let it sit for a week or two. Scarlet is my favorite color!
