TIE TYE - JUST DO IT! BEAUTIFUL LOOKING

According to wikipedia Tie-dye is a process of tying and dyeing a piece of fabric or cloth which is made from knit or woven fabric, usually cotton; typically using bright colors. It is a modern version of traditional dyeing methods used in many cultures throughout the world. "Tie-dye" can also describe the resulting pattern or an item which Tie-dyeing is accomplished by folding the material into a pattern, and binding it with string or rubber bands. Dye is then applied to only parts of the material. The ties prevent the entire material from being dyed. Designs are formed by applying different colors of dyes to different sections of the wet fabric. A wet t-shirt is much easier to dye than a dry t-shirt. Once complete, the material is rinsed, and the dye is set.

De acordo com Wikipédia o Tie Dye é uma antiga técnica, tradicionalmente utilizada por várias culturas no mundo, especialmente asiáticas e africanas. No Japão, onde a técnica é conhecida como shibori, os mais antigos exemplares desse tipo de tingimento datam do século VI ao século VIII.

Contemporaneamente, o tie-dye teve um ápice entre as décadas de 1960 e 1970, entre adeptos do movimento hippie. Nos Estados Unidos, foi popularizado por músicos como John Sebastian, Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead  e Joe Cocker.
