tie method:
No shirt inversion. Twisted a clockwise spiral around shirt center.
dye method:
An four-sector hourglass pattern (B/W/B/W) was applied to the front. I patterned that back with the same hourglass pattern, but the colors were opposite. I.e., where one side was black, the other remained undyed.
on the design:
SESH 3 (where Peaces 11, 12 and 13 were made) was an experiment to test out some variations in the dye composition. This Peace (11), used a mix of two dyes in equal proportions: Jacquard Jet Black and Drama Raven Black. The Jet Black often yields a pink/magenta ring around the black spots. The Raven Black is a bit darker overall but has a strong blue cast. Would a combination of the two yield a more neutral black?
on the final product:
Yes, the color cast is quite a bit more neutral. There's no noticeable pink fringe. Though the spots do have a slight blue color cast. I'll use this
