Tie-Dyed Skull

Amaris Angell of Henderson, NV told us: "This project took me 28 hours of work to complete from drawing, tracing to fabric, stitching, gathering fabric stitches, tying off, dyeing, washing and removing threads. I have made a public album showing all the steps I took to make it HERE."

Haight C says:

We don't often get to see the process of creating artwork, so it was such a treat to see and understand the enormous amount of work that went into creating this awesome work.  Thank you for sharing this with us and for showing off the incredible process you used as well.

Tied Up & Dyed Skull

Straight out of Psychedelic Studios on Gabriola Island, BC Canada Scott Shane sends us this trippy skull tapestry for your mind altering pleasure.



Of course this reminds me of the Skull Master's own "Tie Die" skull shirt from his original 365.25 year. Scott's site has tons of great designs that are as colorful as they are unique. There's shirts, bags, and even tapestries for sale including the above Skull & Cross Bones. Thanks for opening our skull's third eye with your wild design, Scott!

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!
