Finally Tie dyed

Tie dyeing was popular when I was in high school but I don't remember ever doing it. So I finally did some this summer! I haven't quite figured out if there is a true difference between tie-dyeing and shibori. I'm thinking that tie-dyeing is the simplest, basic form of shibori. Dye gurus, is this right? Anyway I did use some techniques I learned from Linda's Shibori workshop back in the spring.

  1. Well done! The middle one is very cosmic looking and the last one reminds me of a tidal pool. I really must try some dyeing.
