335. Tie-"Die" Skull A.K.A. Hippie Skull

Tie-Dyed T-Shirt (still drying). Third Attempt. The first looked sort of like an amoeba, and the second had a decidedly Punisher vibe (perhaps I'll show you that one during S-A-D 2.0). I don't think I've done tie-dye since I was in hippie pre-school in the 70's!

UPDATE: Since folks asked, I'll give a brief explanation of how I made this. I started by sketching on the shirt with a pencil where I wanted white areas. Then I gathered each outlined section individually so that as much of the line around it was visible as possible and then I looped a rubber band tightly around each part making sure to cover the line (working from the smallest sections to the largest). Then I just followed the directions on the package of fabric dye. I definitely needed the initial attempts to figure out how to best gather the sections, and working with mostly circular type shapes is definitely helpful. If you make your own be sure to send me a photo!
