Everything

Hello, my name is Carl, aka MrTieDye.  I am an Artist and I love the medium of tie-dye. I push the boundaries of tie-dye to place 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 finally emerging in the World of Art ~ Tie-Dye!!

Want something different, or one of your favorite tees re-made?? ask me about a custom order.

XL Crystal Rainbows Spiral Tie-Dye tee #31

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.

I love experimenting with new processes .... the latest one I have been working with is Discharging.  For this, I start with a Black or other color tee, fold and tie it up and then I remove color from the tee leaving a patten of light tan and black.  I washed mine and then Scrunched it again and dyed it in Purples. 

Oh and one more thing I love about these... I fold in half before I scrunch, so when I remove color, I get lots of faces that show up due to the symmetry. 

If you would like to try this process out, I have a video that shows how I created many of these Scrunch tees : Discharge Scrunch on Black tee.

This is for an Adult XL Union suit/Long Johns... tied and dye by me in fantastic rainbow colors. 

This XL measures:
22 inches across the chest
34 inches from the back neckline to the crotch

These are now made with 100% ring-spun cotton.  
These are not sewn with cotton thread. 
Cut really big to allow for shrinkage on first wash. 
7 button front, 1 button rear flap 
(can be sewn closed to eliminate drafts).

After dyeing, I wash in hot water 3 times and then into the dryer so they will not shrink anymore.
