tie-dyeing, dyeing method used by hand-loom weavers of ancient times. It became popular during the craft revival of the 1960s. The fabric to be colored is tied or knotted at intervals before being placed in the dye; the knotted areas remain untouched by the dye and create random patterns frequently resulting in a sunburst effect. Tie-dyeing is currently popular for the decoration of wall hangings and casual apparel.

In her wonderful book, The Lilypad List: 7 steps to the simple life, Marian Van Eyk McCain helps you to find 'The Way of Consciousness' to simplify on all levels--not just the "surface manifestations of the simple life: how to recycle things; live on less money; tie-dye your old T-shirts; clean your windows with vinegar" as in some other also useful books. |
