So here is a design that was first create by Jenny R. while attempting to create a Peace Sign tee without watching my video like she usually does, Her result was awesome and I dubbed it to 'Huggable Peace Sign'. I told her I wanted to recreate it and she said to go for it. I made one practice one and then Life happened and it got set down and buried for a year. Then as I was looking to get back to videos, this one popped into mind, so I went looking for the info on it and discovered it had been done exactly one year from TODAY ... the first time I saw her design... So within an hour, I went LIVE on Youtube and created this tee. It was a bit confusing as I was not really ready to do a video that day, let along a LIVE video ... so Anyways, I went on to make a second video to compare the difference between the Huggable & Regular Peace Signs ... this time I did them on Tapestries to make it more clear.
Here are links to both videos : Huggable Peace Sign on a tee

I use Procion dyes which are professional strength commercial dyes, the colors stay bright for years. I work with Gildan Ultra tees, they are 6.1 oz, 100% pre-shrunk cotton.
Great dyes, quality tees, and attention to detail, combined with my ability to embrace the random nature of liquid color, equals an awesome new shirt for you to wear and show off. Each tee is handmade, so every tee shirt is unique.... I may be able to do one similar, but never exact.
Hello, my name is Carl, aka MrTieDye. I am a Dye Artist and I love the medium of tie-dye. I push the boundaries of tie-dye to places few people have seen. I am constantly asked "how did you do THAT with tie-dye?"
I started twisting tees and splashing dye in August 2000 and quickly realized the unlimited potential of the tie-dye medium. I have experimented with many techniques of tie-dye as I explored its history. Now, along with my peers, I am boldly contributing to the future of this dynamic new face now emerging in the World of Art ~ Tie-Dye!
