String Designs

The items in this area are more literally "Tie-Dyed" since they're completely made by tying with heavy string before dyeing. These String Design Tie-Dyes are done by a process very different from what I call The Tie-Dyes. I stumbled on to this particular style of dyeing a little later on, and I think of it as my more advanced dye work. My intention here is to leave a sharp and clearly-visible string mark on the finished piece. Sometimes I keep colors separate by using the string as a barrier to resist the dye. More focused areas of design and a solid colored background are characteristic of my String Designs as opposed to the all-around designs typical of The Tie-Dyes.
