I was so happy to be feeling good again this weekend and more than anything I wanted to do some dyeing - and will do more today. As I was having my tea yesterday morning I received an email from my nephew asking for shirts for him and his girlfriend. I have trouble telling him "no" so these are for James and Courtney.
I've been trying to get a deep dark blue to make shirts in UVA colors that he can wear to games. The first one I made was way too light. This is closer but he hasn't seen it yet so I don't know if I got it quite right.
And finally I did these shirts and fabrics for Terri. We are doing a little art swap.
I don't think I've ever seen a tie-dyed zig zag before -- it looks great! Those are definitely Fighting Illini colors if not UVA colors.

I really think you need to do a tie dye shirt class on MQR.
Please? With ...... hmmm, dye and beads on top?

I love your tie dye patterns. And I think your attempt at a UVA shirt is pretty darn close! Awesome!

OK, I think you've got the tie dye down pat now...they look great! You are having way too much fun with that!

I've never done any tie-dying, but, by golly, your shirts are terrific and they look like fun to do!

I can certainly see why anyone would want one of your shirts! Lovely colours! What a pro you're getting to be! You're tempting me to get into this and ya know how I don't need another hobbie! lol
