Tee Shirts

I am loving the looks I get when I start with a Black tee, tie it and take some color out and then add some back in ... more work, but also more fun!!  Here is one where I wandered across the tee gathering the fabric as I went, then I tied it up, removed some color and then added some back in. 

I use Procion dyes which are professional strength commercial dyes, the colors stay bright for years.  I work with Gildan Ultra and Port & Company 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!

Total Experiment... I only made three of these tees so get yours now, there was some dye transfer in the process, so I took extra photos.  Now the Dyes are completely set and all excess dyes washed out... just wash with colors in cold water and you are good to go with this Rainbow Drip Tie-Dye Tee.

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 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.  From here you can rinse well or wash and then add color back in to create this wonderful contrast of colors. 

Here is how I made this one if you are interested in the Klink X Design, Here is a video of how it is Created : Klink X  Design video.

I love to experiment with HWI... you tie the tee up in whatever design you like, then lay powdered dye on it, then use a sprayer with HOT water and then you spray the dye on the tee which then lets the dye run down into the tee where it is placed

Here is a Rainbow WigWag ZigZag tee, or close to it...  this one I placed the dye a little differently because I forgot to mark my lines on the bottom side, so when it came time to flip and add more dye, I had to just go for it as close as I could to matching it up.... and wow the results were awesome!! 

One of a Kind!! ✌🏻

I have been playing with the Spiderweb Design, I did a liquid dye and a Discharge, here is the result of one of the Discharged Spiderweb tees that I tied back up similar to how I discharged it and then dyed it with black and orange, it was done on the front only, but it does have two marks on the back for novelty. 

Here is a video where I demo how I discharge the Spiderweb and then Tie-Dye the tee :
