traditional doodle for someone on flight rising

hello my followers who do diy things i am in need of advice. i have this concert hoodie (standard red hoodie with a white vinyl decal of the artist name on the front) which i love but hardly ever wear because it is Bright Fuckoff Red and that is not my color. so i've been considering trying to dye it black / a darker color at least, with some sort of fabric dye, but .. does anybody know if that would actually work well? especially in terms of the white vinyl. tldr i don't want to fuck up my hoodie but i also don't want it to be so red

(repurposing this old post into an intro)

hi! you can call me xylaria, xy, or i guess some variation of my url if you want.

this is an art + photos blog, expect mainly my art and occasionally a cool mushroom or something i found in the woods. i reblog from @strobilomyces-confusus

dms open if you want to talk about anything, especially diy/creative process stuff, i like comparing notes with ppl

i am open to art trades, if you want one feel free to ask!

i don't mind construction criticism or tips, particularly on my traditional art/crafting stuff - i'm in a stage of wanting to try a whole bunch of different cool things, which means that i am an absolute beginner at most of them, and if you are experienced and know that i am making an absolute beginner mistake (tm) i'd like to know about it too!

you can also send me mushrooms you've found. i encourage this. i do not guarantee an accurate id every time but i can Try

here's the other pocket! 1000% inspired by this post from @strobilomyces-strobilaceus

doodles of a couple of my flight rising dragons

its november so the only mushrooms i can find around here are the Blobs

Also what does your url mean? /gen

it's the scientific name for a mushroom! Strobilomyces strobilaceus, commonly known as the old man of the woods. I think it's neat :] funky little edible bolete (ive never tried it myself but i would like to! very easily recognized, good safe species if you know the basics)
