tie method:

On the front of the shirt, I marked out lines to create vertical pleat folds on the shirt. However, after I folded up a rough 10-15 cm section, I tied the folded section tightly with synthetic sinew, and proceeded to reverse the folds for the next 10-15 cm section. That is, what in the first section had been mountain folds, now became valley folds, and vice versa. I repeated this tying and fold-reversing from the bottom to the top of the shirt.

dye method:

Here, I applied dye completely on one side of the tied shirt, while apply no dye to the other side. Shirt was dyed dry.

on the design:

This was my third attempt at this pattern. (See Peaces 18 & 19)

on the final product:

Because the shirt was dyed dry the spots are very sharp and a very rich black.
