Graffiti list á sér talsvert langa sögu á Íslandi en það má segja að gróskan hafi verið sem mest um miðjan tíunda áratuginn. Graffað var víðsvegar um borgina en það geta allir verið sammála um það að mekka graffiti í Reykjavík hafi verið í undirgöngunum í Hlíðunum.
Það var mikil gróska á þessum tíma og þetta var eitthvað nýtt. Hip Hop, Hjólabretti og Graffiti en besta við þetta allt að það voru allir vinir!
Hlíðargöngin hafa staðið auð í um tíu ár annaðhvort hvít eða í mesta lagi nokkur tögg. Fyrir um viku síðan var hóað í allar gömlu Graffiti kempurnar og hittust þær í undirgöngunum. Allir voru í massa stuði og tilbúnir í að Graffa á ný og gera þessi göng eins og þau eiga að vera!
Á Menningarnótt var blásið til opnunar í göngunum og mættu þar listamenn og áhugamenn um götulist. Það myndaðist frábær stemning og ljúfir tónar fengu að hljóma um göngin, en það var enginn annar en Frímann Kjerúlf Björnsson sem þeytti skífum.
Nokkrir snillingar eru um þessar mundir að vinna að heimildarmynd um undirgöngin í Hlíðunum, en einn af þeim er Björgvin Sigurðarson, en hann skipulagði einmitt þennan flotta viðburð.
Frábært framtak og meira svona húrra, húrra, húrra!
Listamennirnir sem prýða undirgöngin eru:
Sharq, Atom , Kez , Starz , Dyer , Crek , Dire , Youze , Sort , Chulo , Lopez og Osesh

I dyed up two sock yarns and a roving. Finished pictures coming soon, I'm to tired to take more today.

I followed the suggestions and used the copper scrubbies as the source of copper.
I put two scrubbies in a mason jar and filled it with 3.5 cups of hot water and 0.5 cups of ammonia.
I let the jar cool overnight and then sealed it.
I left it for 2 days and not much happened. There was a little cloudiness, but that was it. I then shook the jar and I got a nice bright blue colour. I then alternated opening the jar to air it out and then shaking it more. The blue got deeper.
I repeated this for a couple more days. At that point the liquid got cloudy and turned a brownish shade. I added 2 more tablespoons of ammonia and shook, and that brought the blue back.
I left it over the weekend, and it went back to cloudy / brownish. I added 2 more tablespoons of ammonia and that fixed things.
I poured the liquid into one of my dyeing crock pots, and added a skein of pre-wetted yarn and then left it to cook. The liquid started as a bluish grey when the yarn was put in. It went a bright orangey colour after 2 hours, and then to the greyish green you see here after 4 hours when the liquid was boiling. I let it boil another hour, then let it cool in the pot overnight. There was still a lot of colour in the bath, but I didn’t save it.
I washed the yarn a few times and then gave it a bath in a vinegar/water solution to neutralize it. The colour stayed the same, which I was hoping it would do. Other people have had it shift to lavender once it was put into the acid solution.
I’m fairly pleased how it came out. There is a lot of variation in the colour. I think it came from not soaking the yarn long enough, and also maybe having to much yarn for the pot size, and the yarn resisted against itself. I also tied the ties to tight, so there are whiter spots there.
just some ink & dye (the stuff I use for clay) on paper - blogged about here: www.gingerblue.com/more-goals-and-letting-go/

I tried dyeing with leaves, so they make an imprint...I did not succeed so I tie dyed it in stead. Need to do way more research..
Polyoptic 4.2 ring half dyed green and half blue. I would like to say that I rigged a clever hanger to keep it at the right level (half dipped in gently simmering dye), but in fact I just cooked my fingers for a few minutes at a time, like an idiot.
