Well, no, we’re not doing this for profit. But we sure as heck had fun doing it. And today I have the results of yesterday’s tie-dying experience. The shirts are currently air drying and I took photos of each.
Here is my rainbow colored attempt. I need to remember in future to wrap a bit looser and then I’ll get more color and less white in the shirt.
This was Judi’s tightly wrapped shirt. You will soon see why tightly wrapped isn’t as nice as loosely wrapped…
This is my red & yellow shirt. I love the colors! And you can almost tell there’s a spiral pattern there…
I *love* this shirt! It’s my favorite! Alas, it’s Judi’s shirt! (She did the wrap – and it was a wonderful loose spiral wrap. I did the actual dyeing.) You know, she lives ALL the way in Chicago… And it’s at MY house… And it fits me, too! Hmmmm…
Yet again, a spectacular shirt. This one was 100% Judi – the wonderful loose spiral wrap and her own dyeing method. She’s got talent, has our Judi!
So, a wonderful set of shirts, if you ask me! Judi’s a natural, in my opinion. I last did tie-dying nearly 10 years ago, but it was her first attempt at it. It was fun and messy – the best sort of activity. And we got to do it in my chemistry lab – another plus. Can’t wait to make some more shirts with Judi!
Can’t wait to make some more shirts with Judi! Oh… Is that what they’re calling it nowadays? 😉
Is that what they’re calling it nowadays? Shhhhh – we’re trying to keep it a secret!
I like the high proportion of white in the top one, it looks wonderful! Judi does seem to be rather talented. Are you making these shirts to keep? *suggests making a McCoy tie dye one* … Well, the tie dye looks wonderful and Penguin Man is wonderful, so you’d end up with the world’s best shirt ever 😛 Now if you’d excuse me, I have a bed to fall into. Again.
Are you making these shirts to keep? Yes, indeedy do. *suggests making a McCoy tie dye one* Well, the tie dye looks wonderful and Penguin Man is wonderful, so you’d end up with the world’s best shirt ever 😛 Heh. I suggested to Judi that we should do one tie-dye with white in the center and then make her a Pomeranian iron on (her doggie, Lance) with the caption “Who’s your doggie?!” but we didn’t get around to it this time. Perhaps the next time. 🙂
Lookin’ beautiful, ladies!
Thanks!
