Tie-Dye... Gone Wrong, Gone Right.

So the other weekend, my favorite apartment-mate and her friend Chad and I decided to tie-dye. Oh yes. As we prepared to get all the materials, we drove around in his bright yellow VW bus, like in Little Miss Sunshine, while listening to the Remember the Titans CD. Not only that, but it was bright and sunny day outside, and we go to school right on the California Coast.

Could we have anymore of a hippie feeling day?

So we tie-dyed in the backyard with the following colors:
- Wine
- Bright Purple
- Sunshine Yellow / Mustard
- Forest Green
- Blue
- Kelly Green

The shirts came out gorgeous. However, we got a little impatient and wanted to wear them, so we put the shirts in the washing machine before they dried.

Big mistake. The colors faded, and the white parts of the shirt became grey.

But after looking at them for a while, we fell in love with the effect it gave the shirts. They looked like something you could buy at Lucky!. It was so exciting. So, I love them dearly.

What I did for mine was for one of the shirts I did a spiral, with blue, sunshine yellow, forest green & kelly green which now you can see a bit of yellow and the greens, but definitely the seashell spiral.
Then, I did wine, bright purple, yellow and green. This one I used the circle/ripple effect. Now you just see lighter versions of the colors with the grey background of course.
And I used my HANES V-NECKS! Thank goodness, I am so tired of all the white ones.

There are pictures to come. But it does help with those boring white items of yours...

It'd be cool to do tie-dye underwear... :) just a thought.
