This here is my first disc dye job. It is nothing special when you have seen the work of some experienced disc dyers, but I am really happy with how it turned out (the good news). It was a bit of a trial run in preparation for dying a disc for my sister's birthday.
Why the taco bell logo? I like to imagine that taco bell is my sponsor. On Fridays I get off work early and when I can I go disc golfing on my way home. But not without powering up first with a delicious $2 meal deal from Taco Bell with a cool refreshing Baja Blast soda.
Though this dye job may look simple, it is actually a very complicated process involving acetone, xacto knives, masking vinyl, light box, transfer tape, dye, and alcohol (not the kind you drink). Why all the fuss? The finished product is a unique disc with a personalized image that will never wear off. Art you can throw (haven't you always wanted to throw art?).The images (called stamps) that are on a disc when you buy it wear off and they are not unique. There is a dedicated sub-subculture of disc golfers who create immaculate multi-color dyes. After seeing some of their work, I have a hard time imagining that they actually go disc golfing any more. Their discs look like they would take all of their free time to create. Very cool stuff. Here are some samples.
Could the dying have changed it's balance? This is fantastic. I love how men so finely hone their interests. Clint found out that though he wasn't the fastest in his handgun competition. Out of 80 shooters, he was the most accurate. But it was a speed, not accuracy competition. He spends lots of time analyzing the speed and projection and fall rate of his bullets. It's good you guys use your brain cells like that.
ReplyDeleteIt really is sad that it's unthrowable. What are the chances? Good old taco bell. Remember when we'd see commercials on tv of some new delicious creation and get right in our car and go buy it? Those were the days. But I think you have better stamina than me. I might be getting sick of it. (don't get mad) awesome disc honey.
ReplyDeletelike i said, those things belong on the wall where they can be enjoyed as the art they are. i put a halloween birthday curse on your taco bell disc.
ReplyDeleteand in my expert opinion, the fashion carol disc is the greatest disc of all time. it will soon be on proud display on my blog. i love it SOOOOOOOO OOOOOOO much.
