Tie-dye is a term used to describe a number of resist dyeing techniques and the resulting dyed products of these processes. The process of tie-dye typically consists of folding, twisting, pleating, or crumpling fabric or a garment, before binding with string or rubber bands, followed by the application of dye or dyes.
Shibori is the Japanese word for a variety of ways to resist-dye textiles. Traditionally, a white cloth (usually silk, hemp, or cotton) was folded, bunched, or twisted, then tied, and finally dipped into a natural indigo dye.

This is the second time I did tie and dye. I love this technique of transformation. It can make a dull looking fabric into something colorful and interesting. I had a lot of fun doing this particular assignment. To achieve these designs I did various types of folds, knots, etc.. I've used different colors to make the designs stand out.
