Tiger Stripes

Hi, i-Tie-Dye!

I wonder if anyone would care to help me mix up some colors to do a stereotypical "tiger stripe"-- you know, a yellowy thing blending into an ambery thing blending into a golden-brown thing. Just like tiger striped pants you might expect a rock n roll superstar to wear. I think you know what I mean.

I did a discharge on a black shirt, and then dyed it, and it came out fairly nifty, but looking at it from afar I realize that the same shirt with tiger stripes in the discharged areas would be even neater. I hope.

So I'm not starting out with perfect white-- the discharged areas are currently a light tan, almost exactly like a wine-cork.

So I guess I'll start with Dharma's "#1 Lemon Yellow"... then what? Here are the colors I have to work with; I'm listing everything because I have no real clue how I should go about making the brown, or even phasing into the ambery part, really. I have two empty squirty bottles I can use to mix as I go-- you know, squirt some yellow, then add a couple drops of something to it and shake it up, rinse, repeat...

Thanks.
