<h1>Discovering Tie-Dye - An Adventure</h1> How often, after a relaxing and lazy weekend, do you have the feeling, that you wasted something valuable?<br><br>From my own experience time is a very valuable commodity. I often enjoy a weekend with not many things to do, no pressing task to accomplish, but just to lean back, maybe watch some TV re-runs and hang out with friends. I really do, but once in a while I get bitten by the activity bug and then I have to get out and get something done.<br><br>That so happened to me this weekend, and writing this article is the end of a very busy and productive day.<br><br>It all started out with my decision to go see some friends to hang out with and going into my closet to find some shirt to wear. But instead I came away from the closet with an old tie-dye shirt. I don't know why it happened at this time (because I had seen that shirt hanging there many times), but it reminded me that I always wanted to do some tie-dyeing myself.<br><br>I had actually bought some books a while back and one of those books I now found pretty quickly as my apartment is not too big, and I dug in. The first part I only skimmed. It had lots of information about the history of dyeing in general and of tie-dye in particular, but with much of this I was very familiar so I did not spend much time with it. My urge now was to get to the DO something.<br><br>I found out that I needed some more supplies and I had to go out and get rubber bands, spring and other little things like cloth-pins etc. But back at my place I went to work and learned about the horizontal and vertical pleats that will create stripes when dyed, I learned about the techniques to make circular patterns and the well known spiral. This was the pattern I needed the cloth-pin for.<br><br>In the Wikipedia article about tie-dye I had found one very interesting method to tie-dye, called mudmee tie-dye and after checking out the site that offers clothing made in this fashion I even attempted to create these type of patterns.<br><br>Time will show because I had to stop myself in my spurt of activity because the weekend is coming to an end and I have to be energized for work tomorrow, but I still wanted to get this article here written, mostly to remind myself and hopefully somebody else as well, that a lazy Sunday can be so much better if you are not lazy.<br> <h2>About the Author</h2> Merlin Silk, in remembering the peace movement of the sixties and seventies, has found his love creating tie-dye and has taken on the task to bring back tie-dye to his generation and to introduce the younger generation to this art form.
