Navy Dye Crystals
I left some navy dye in a cup for several days, and it decided to grow crystals, right up the side of the plastic cup and out at the top. Doesn't it look like cedar branches? One of many mysteries of the dye studio. Crystals are formed as the chemicals align at a molecular level. If you make a pot of dye and it doesn't arrange its own molecules into crystals, chances are that you have either kept it too long or don't have the right chemistry going on.
