Sometimes the sky looks like that tie-dyed granddad shirt I
made when I was a teenager. I loved that shirt, it was very groovy and I had
such fun making it. It was a two bucket job; half in the purple bucket, half in
the orange bucket and then a quick suspension with string and a stick in the
purple bucket again to get a bright orange band in the middle. I looked so cool
wearing it – no I really did. But then it’s easy to look cool at seventeen even
if you do have purple and orange dyed hands.

ReplyDeleteI tie-dyed a grandad once... He wasn't happy.

ReplyDeleteIt is a random design expression made from string and the whim of the universe. When it is right it is very right, when it is wrong it is a splodge of nothing. A bit like the sunset really.

ReplyDeleteMemories of my time at Art College. Tie dying was a fine art. The expectation of the final result can only be compared to developing a print in the darkroom.
