Throughout my high school career I dyed a countless amounts of t-shirts. Whenever a tye dye themed football game would roll around, my friends and I would always tye dye a bunch of old t-shirts in my backyard. Whether you are tye dying for a themed football game or party, tye dying t-shirts is always fun and inexpensive activity. In my experience of dying t-shirts, I have run into just about every problem imaginable. For instance, one time I tried to tye dye a polyester t-shirt and all the dye came off the shirt. Now I know polyester does not absorb dye. Natural fabrics like cotton absorb dye more effectively. Hopefully with all my tips and tricks I can help you dye the perfect t-shirt. For the easiest and best way to tye dye a t-shirt you are going to need a few materials. Most of these items are easily found around the home. First you need a 100% cotton t-shirt.

best and produces the best results. Most importantly you need tye dye. I prefer to buy the three pack of tye dying bottles from Walmart in the classic colors: fuchsia, yellow, and blue. The bottles are only about $5 and so much easier and less messy than mixing your own dye. You are also going to need rubber bands, plastic gloves, a bucket, a gallon sized Ziploc bag, a plastic table cloth, a wooden clothes pin, and paper towels. Now that you gathered all the supplies, the time has come to start tye dying.
Tye dying is pretty messy so I recommend doing this outside. The dye will stain your clothes and furniture so before you start, spread a plastic table cloth out and change into clothes you do not mind getting dirty. Remember to wear gloves to avoid dying your hands. First, wash your t-shirt before dying it so the colors absorb better and last longer. Next, fill a bucket with warm water and soak the shirt in the bucket, then wring the shirt out. Then spread the shirt out on a flat surface with the back of the shirt facing up. The most basic tye dying design to master is the spiral. For this design, use a wooden clothes pin or your finger to pinch the middle of the shirt and turn it clockwise to create a spiral. Make sure the spiral stays flat so the shirt forms a “pie” shape. Next, take multiple rubber bands and wrap them around the shirt to keep the spiral shape. The rubber bands will crisscross to look like slices of pie. Turn the “pie” shirt over to ensure the rubber bands are good on the back as
well. Now for the moment you have been waiting for, actually dying the shirt. Take your three bottles of dye and follow the instructions on the package to prepare them. Normally you only need to add water. I recommend using three colors because multiple colors can mix and cause your shirt to turn brown. Divide your “pie” shirt into three “pie slices.” Using the lightest colored dye first, color in one of the “slices.” Then color in the other two “slices” with the other two dye colors. Remember to leave no white spaces. Turn the spiral shirt over and dye the other side making sure the colors match up to the ones on the opposite side. Once the shirt is completely covered in dye, place the shirt into a gallon sized Ziploc bag. Keep the shirt in the bag for at least 24 hours so the dye has time to set into the fabric. After waiting 24 hours, take the shirt out of the Ziploc bag. Rinse the shirt under cold water. Dye coming off the shirt is completely normal. Keep rinsing the shirt until no more dye comes out. Then take the rubber bands off and unravel the shirt. Wash the shirt before wearing it or the dye will rub off on your skin. Place the shirt in the washing machine on cold and wash it separately. I recommend washing the shirt separately a few times before washing it with other clothes since the dye can transfer onto your other clothes. Tye dying t-shirts is fun yet inexpensive to create with friends. Tye dying is perfect for when you are bored and want to do something fun with your friends. Next time you run out of costume ideas, skip Party City and tye dye your own shirt for the perfect outfit. With these easy to follow instructions you should never run into any problems. Now you can create a bright tye dyed t-shirt you can wear anywhere. Following these steps, you will have a long lasting shirt to wear for years to come. I have to warn you though. Once you start tye dying you will have so much fun, you will want to tye dye everything.
“Fiction is the truth inside the lie” (Stephen King). Figment of imagination helps improve brain connectivity and responsibilities which enables the brain to escape to a world of illusion. In a world of imagination students explore conflicts within the book. Anecdotes play a significant role in building the strategies used to deal with real world events. Ink and Ashes by Valynne E.

Tattoo ink is made up of pigments and carrier molecules. Ink is formed of water, alcohol, and glycerin. The pigments that are in the tattoo ink are mineral pigment, organic pigment, vegetable-based pigment, and plastic-based pigment. The pigments contain organic and metallic elemental composition. The plastic-based pigments are very intense colors. There are also pigments that glow in the dark. The reason they have
Tattoo inks have come a long way from the past to the present. The history of tattoo ink stretches back to the prehistoric times. The evolution of tattoos and inks have mainly been a journey of trial and error experiences by tattoo artists, professional and amateur, daring to try new things and making tattoo ink out of different things. Scientific American Journal explains the how tattoo ink is placed,” Tattoo ink is placed via needles into the dermis layer of the skin, where it remains permanently” (Scientific American, 3rd paragraph) .Some of the first materials that were used in making tattoo ink were “colored sand, charred nuts, bricks and soot from a burnt Bible”(Hammonds,Sandi, paragraph 1). Vegan and organic tattoo inks are known to be the safest and highest quality of tattoo ink due to the concentration of the pigments.
Once the first coating dries, apply another layer of dye. Repeat this process until you reach your desired color. Using thin coats can make it the application look even. Usually it takes three to six coatings to achieve a darker look.
Hair coloring takes extensive scientific knowledge and careful planning. It is very important for the colorist to make sure they don’t do too much damage to their clients’ hair. Hair coloring also takes a toll of the colorists’ body. Colorists work long hours of their feet and use long term repetitive motions. These motions can lead to conditions like arthritis and carpal tunnel. Hair colorist are also constantly exposed to chemicals over a long period of time, this can cause acne scarring and other skin complications. Regardless of the obstacles, hair colorists use their creativity to create beautiful colors and gain lots of stamina over the years.
You cannot use simple coloring pencils or lightweight paint, one method in its history is the art of stained glass. (History of Stained Glass (Stained Glass Association of ..., n.d.) talks about how stained glass gives an accurate feel of attitude for people who is passionate towards the art of stained glass. Stained glass speaks in volumes without sound in chapels to give off a holy yet delicate feeling. It’s been said that there were times of stained glass art that was imperfectly documented back in the 1900s, up to 60 stained glass businesses were listed before the time. None exist and some is known little about them (History of Stained Glass (Stained Glass Association of ..., n.d.). Even though some documents are lost in time, the history of stained glass still found its way in interior design. It’s all started with one simple mistake. (History of Stained Glass (Stained Glass Association of ..., n.d.) Many histories of the stained-glass method were told first through Pliny’s tale. It was an accidental discovery of glass by Phoenician sailors (History of Stained Glass (Stained Glass Association of ..., n.d.) . the legend clams that there was shipwrecked sailors who set their cooking pots on blocks of natron. (natron is a salt mineral you would find in dried up lakes). The sailors use this material from there cargo and stated up fire under it. The sailor slept and overnight the fire’s heat had melted the sand and soda mixture. When morning came the mass of resultant cooled and turned into glass. (History of Stained Glass (Stained Glass Association of ..., n.d.). Glass that was discovered and use goes back to even Egyptian periods where glassed beads between 2750 and 2625 B.C. Glass beads then was made off a winding string of molten glass around a clay core that was removable. Colors such as moss green, greenish white, or tobacco yellow gives off a bright sensation with

First, choose the right eyeshadow colors that are going to bring the natural eye color. For the blue eyes, go with warm colors such as oranges, reds, and golds. Girls with brown eyes can go with blues and violet. For have green eyes, choose from purples, violets, and pinks. For girls with hazel eyes, you have a combination of green and brown, so you can play around with a few colors to bring out either the green or the brown in your hazel eyes depending on the color you like best. The first things to do before applying the eyeshadow is to make sure that the eyelids are primed. The primer will make the eyelids smooth and the oil does not come through it and it will make the eyeshadows in place for a lot longer and will bring out the colors. To apply the primer on the eyelids use your finger to blend it so that it will cover all the eyelids. The second thing is to choose the eyeshadow color that match’s your eye color. Then take a deeper color for the eye crease to give the eye some depth one or two shades darker than the color that you want to apply it on the eyelids. After that, blend all the eyeshadows in a circular motion by using a blender brush, which will make the eyeshadows, blend in a really nice way and it will make the work much easier. Then pick a color and use an angled brush to apply it on the lower lash line that will make the eyes appear larger. Finally, apply mascara on the upper and lower
businesses do not see T-shirts as an acceptable form of attire. Although it may be a casual dress day, clothing should still be neat, clean, and pressed. Clothing should not be offensive, tasteless, revealing, or sloppy. If an employee feels he or she might be underdressed, he or she probably is.

...e industries, textile industries are considered as one of the major sources of wastewater in ASEAN countries. Dyes are also used in industries such as rubber, paper & pulp, dye & dye intermediate industries, pharmaceutical, tannery, food technology, hair coloring, plastic, cosmetic etc. There are more than 10,000 commercially available dyes with over 7x105 tones of dyestuff being produced annually across the world2.. The textile industry consumes more than 107 kg of dye per year of which 90% ending up on fabrics3. Of this total usage 10- 15% of the dye is lost during the dyeing process and released with the effluent. Colour is contributed by phenolic compounds such as tannins, lignins (2-3%) and organic colourants (3-4%) and with a maximum contributions from dye and dye intermediates which could be sulphur/ mordant/ reactive/ cationic/ dispersed/acid/azo vat dye4.
