Transcript

It's been a while since I've tried out an experiment on a scrunch combo, which is one of my more production type of designs. It's a combination of a basic symmetrical scrunch with a mandala tie as the focal point. For this experiment, I wanted to apply the gradient idea that I sometimes use with Kenny style. So So I took account of how many colors I wanted the gradient to be and divided it by the total length of the shirt and used washable markers to mark out the gradient. After that was finished, I folded the shirt in half and marked out for the mandala tie. I think I did an 18 mandala on this one. Once that was finished, I laid the shirt out and used my tweezers to start splitting the pleats and making the scrunch. I like to tie the scrunch as I'm going instead of waiting until the whole thing is done. And here's what that last step looks like all dyed up, and here it is, the no gradient scrunch combo. Pretty stoked on it. Let me know what y'all think.
