Tye dyes and results

Finally, I experimented with tye dyes on t-shirts.  Above is the first best result I had.  I like the final products.  Just above, an interesting result.  It ain't bad.  I think it was a good idea to add the blue to the pink.  There is also small area that look a bit orangish but the t-shirt have a nice look.

This one above was fun to make but it was the longest to make of the bunch.  I wrapped pieces of the t-shirt with rubber band (the pink spots) and put the dye.  I had to take two color of green and I find the result fine.  It look like flowers on a patch of green.  I thought it would be worst than currently is.  Sometimes, when not expecting a favorable result have surprising better result than thought!

This one is the faulty one of the bunch (my opinion anyway).  I wanted to do a 3 colored t-shirt.  I missed up with the dye.  The child wearing it is happy with the result so, I guess I can say it was my first try with the dye.  Next time I will do this kind of design, I will take a old or cheap rolling pin to roll the t-shirt on.  For this one, I took the cardboard of a scott towel roll.  The cardboard had soaked up the watery content and was mushy at the end of the process.  I guess I can put the error on that cardboard.

Another error I made was not washing the t-shirt first hand and applying the dye directly on the t-shirt.  I won't repeat that error and next time, I will try on wet t-shirts!  A precaution I would add to the steps to do: put also protection on the floor!   So, now, I feel that I have a better knowledge in doing tye dyes t-shirts!
