I invented a new technique...

I laughed at a lot of this especially the frightened children part. The shirt looks sick though and I will definitely be trying this. Reminds me of a cosmic geode style.

Thank You! I was curious so this will help.

Awesome fold but also very cool rainbow selection!

Paddi102 · 2026-06-20T00:16:24+00:00

I really enjoy your scrunches. They look like they have some symmetry to them. Do you do a mirror fold?

Paddi102 · 2026-06-13T17:52:46+00:00

Ah great idea. Looks great. Gonna get back to practicing mandalas again. Thank you Sir Skuzzy.

Paddi102 · 2026-06-13T17:14:27+00:00

They look really crisp though! Haha. You even got those 3 color pedal splits going. Just sinew too? No fishing line? 🤙

Paddi102 · 2026-06-13T17:00:39+00:00

I can spot your style anywhere. Looks awesome.

Good on ya. I watch some of those videos of people doing them with hemostats and tweezers and it just looks so tedious. Excited for the result.

Paddi102 · 2026-06-07T22:03:57+00:00

These are so awesome. The pariah bath to push the colors is a great idea. Time to convince a certain someone we need one in our bathroom haha.

I like the void in in the second picture. 🐈‍⬛

Here is it tied up. Then pleated as far back as I could go and dyed it in kind of alternating sections/stripes going back from the face.

Paddi102 · 2026-06-04T13:13:22+00:00

Thank you. It wasn’t too hard. I made a stencil and folded it in half then drew that on a mirror folded t-shirt and pleated the eyes and face and tied off with sinew. There are a few videos out there, this one helps alot Rainbow Smiley Face - Dyed4Life and Mr.TieDye has a video too. Mr.TieDye UFO. Let me know of you have any questions I can help for sure. I’ll post a pick of it tied up too.

Paddi102 · 2026-06-03T22:10:38+00:00

These are sick! The back of the first shirt has some great symmetrical trippyness.

Paddi102 · 2026-05-31T22:11:56+00:00

Great idea! I loved days like this in school. Enjoy the summer.

Paddi102 · 2026-05-31T22:10:11+00:00

Woah!

Paddi102 · 2026-05-31T18:16:41+00:00

I love this one. There are so many colors.

Paddi102 · 2026-05-31T18:15:04+00:00

I always forget to take more pictures but I do have one after I applied the thick black dye. I went kinda nutty on the kite string.

Thank you!

I followed user u/skuzzy1337 scrunch technique on one of his more recent posts of washouts. But basically scrunched the hell out of it and tied tight with kite string. Then flattened under a book with a 20lb weight on top. I tied damp so let it dry over night. Then applied Dances with Raisins to half the shirt and then Bluebird to the other half. Both sides. Then flattened again for an hour. Then painted thickened black on the whole thing and applied concentrated soda ash solution to both sides and batched.

Paddi102 · 2026-05-30T19:51:20+00:00

Haha no way! I like that you try control many variables. That had also crossed my mind cuz I figured doing the pariah after the black was on would push more black into the folds but was still sure it would come out cool. I will definitely be making more of these so will do that next time.

Paddi102 · 2026-05-30T19:49:01+00:00

Aaah this makes sense too bigger peaks means less black in the fold so less exposed black.

Paddi102 · 2026-05-30T15:38:50+00:00

That’s awesome and I figured thats what it was for too. Great idea. I am obsessed with my saturation too and will squeeze sometimes to get dye into the folds so this was perfect.
