foam dyeing

Message: Great site, wish like anything I'd found it yesterday -- before starting a big dye project that didn't exactly work out.... Now that I've made a Big Mess, and looked around your site, I wonder if you have an updated link for Foam Dyeing? The link on your site is gone, alas. I have a feeling it might be what I'm looking for.
(And at least my Big Mess taught me some of what I'm looking to learn, so no big deal. Still, if I can learn from someone else's mistakes, it will save me the trouble of making so many of my own!)
Thank you, by the way, for putting together such a great site. It's nice to see someone who's put so much into an informational site, and you've done it so well.

Looks like that site is gone, all right. It was little more than the suggestion to mix dye with shaving cream and then apply the dye+foam to fabric that has been pre-treated with soda ash.

The technique has been discussed on the DyersList mailing list, which has archivers. Go join that list so you can view the archives. See https://list.emich.edu/mailman/listinfo/dyerslist . Then search for "foam" at http://list.emich.edu/~dyers/ . The combined information that you will obtain in that way is actually much better than the missing page.
