Transcript

Hey. Bad with a new one. A lot of people like the Homer shirt that I did a couple weeks ago, so I figured I'd give it another shot. This one was a three part piece, meaning it was tied and dyed on three separate occasions. The first step was a scrunched image design, the second step was a honeycomb tie, and then I went back in with some Kenny style filler. Altogether, this piece took me about nineteen hours of tying and dyeing to make. Here's the last step all dyed up. I went with the classic 13 color rainbow color scheme on this one, and I'm really happy with how it came out. Let me know what you think about it.
