LOoking good SC.  I really enjoy making tiedyes but do find that there are times when it's like pulling teeth to mix up more dye or start the next batch.  Not wasting already mixed dye can be a good motivator for me, well that and needing to meet shipment/delivery dates Smiley

SC, your stuff looks nice.  Since you asked for critique I'll give you two suggestions.  First, let me reiterate my suggestion that you not fear saturation.  Unless you WANT all the white, use more dye!  You'll get the feel for how much the fabric can take and you can minimize the white spots.  Secondly a suggestion about items that are folded in half (like that V where one side has a bunch of white and the other does not), to maximize evenness on the front design of the shirt, fold your blank with the back of the shirt on the outside.

I kinda like the white, but sometimes not as much.
I also let everything dry completely,  so I was thinking of trying with them a little damp to see if that helps some.
Thanks, I need ALL the help I can get

Made these a few weeks ago- guess I'm getting lazy about posting.
Please let me know what you think.

Hey there Stone Cold--your fourth pic isn't showing up.  I especially like the second one...reminds me of Monday morning after the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, looking in the mirror.  Wink  Looks like you're being a little more liberal with your dye coverage, and it's making some nice intermediate colors between the dye colors that you apply directly.  cool

I've started to Mist the shirts down with a mix of Soda Ash and water in a spray bottle.
And using more rubber bands. Oh and the biggest change I made- not tieing them so TIGHT!
