I think I figured it out. at first I thought it was a sunburst pattern but I guess its folded in half first and accordian folded into a half circle then dyed different colors on front and back. looks pretty cool. I think I'm going to try to do something like this next time we dye.

Very tiny folds were used! I wouldn't try do it with thick material. Let us know if you had succeeded in replicating this pattern.

I agree with Jaja... also, it appears they used thickened dyes and possibly applied with a pipette of some sort. Most likely, they applied lighter colors on one side, then darker shades on the other. This type of work usually takes a lot of time, so wear comfortable shoes!

Did you ask the artist in question? Who was that artist?
In all fairness, it's one thing to post one's own work and have people discuss and ask questions --it's your own intellectual property to do with as you wish --, but if you're going to take someone else's images from a website and post them out of context from where they were found, the bare minimum would be to either link directly to where the image resides or give proper attribution to the artist.

I understand where you are coming from and respectfully disagree. the image was posted on a website for public viewing and I showed a copy of it here for discussion purposes only and lots of communities despise any kind of links that could be regarded as advertising. Assuming I did agree with your argument I also gave enough information for anybody to find it if they wanted to. |

I have to say I'm on OP's side on this one-- I would bet (but not my life) that the legal beagles would determine this to be what they call "fair use". There is absolutely zero attempt here to profit in any way from this publication of the image, much less any pretense that it is his own work or anything like that.
He just wanted to know how it was done, and.... jeepers creepers, so do I. It looks like it took a week with a blotter and a microscope.
If this were to go to court, the first question the judge would ask is:
"Where is the damage?" (to the original artist)
I don't see that there is any. If anything, we applaud him, and could go find him if we cared to.

People take images from the net all the time. I'm sure the original poster woudn't mind, I wouldn't. Anyway, It may or may not be thickened dye, not sure, but the dye is almost definitely applied with a syringe or perhaps a sponge brush or even a dropper (so you're working with a piece of fabric that has been soaked in soda ash as opposed to activated dye) in very small quanttities/areas at a time. I would agree the shirt is folded in half and then probably drawn a half circle on it and folded up, tight, small accordion folds. So, are you going to try it? Peace, Marg

As they guy who runs this forum, questions like these are fine in my book. We have been doing this for many years--back to Michael's old forum.
Just for the sake of courtesy, let's start linking to the original site and crediting the artist when we post other's work (if we can).
I'm not going to get mired in a legal discussion, I just think it would be a nice thing to do.
No harm, no fault, no worries. Let's go forward.

There's one by Weefcraft I haven't mastered so far. I've seen similiar ones many times. I don't have to wear it, but I do mind that I can't do it.   http://tiedye.org/images/star0009.jpg |

Jaja...
Phatdyes (Brad Garret) has a dvd on that tie, or something quite like it.
It depends on the tightness of the tie, using sinew. You have to tie it really really painfully tight, and then gently drip dye onto it until saturated.
Also, someone here in the forum, has described that tie - sortof.......but don't know where.

Just wondering, why do you use sinew instead of cotton string? Thanks, Marg

Artificial sinew is a synthetic fiber that's heavily waxed. Think of it as really thick dental floss.
If you need to make really tight ties that aren't going to expand and loosen like string when it get wet, this is the stuff to use. You can also pull on it really hard and it's not going to break on you.
It comes in different thicknesses so you can choose the width of your resist line. Because of the waxy covering, it's also a bit tacky; you can get good grip. All good in my books.
