tie dye-ing up a storm!

I have been extremely busy lately with school and work and unfortunately haven't had much time to do the things I enjoy. But when I have time, I find myself tie dying more than anything lately. My friends and I really enjoy having tie dye sessions/parties and trying out new color combos. Our new favorite color is by dylon called "bahama blue." (In the pictures it will appear as the really vibrant bright blue)

While I am still very much into making spiral designs, I started making a few "bulls-eye" shirts. These are probably the simplest to tie in three easy steps.
  1. lay shirt flat and with your fingers, pinch where you want the "bulls-eye" to start
  2. tie off sections with string or rubber bands (you can twist the shirt as you tie it off for a different look
  3. and dye away!
When it's all sectioned off and dyed it should look like this:
Fun stuff!

I'll work on posting pictures of the completed shirts hopefully later today. This batch came out fantastic and is one of my favorites so far.. but I probably say that everytime about everything. =]
