tie method:
I inverted the shirt, folded it in half (with the left sleeve into the right), then created pleat folds at an angle (30°) relative to the shirt horizontal.
dye method:
I marked out bands 3" in width. On the top side I applied dye on every-other band. On the bottom I did the opposite: what was dyed on the top was not on the bottom (and vice versa).
on the design:
Peaces 22, 26, 27 and 30 were done as a series to compare how varying the angle of the pleats would affect the look of the final V-pattern. Would shallower or steeper V's look cooler?
on the final product:
So the angle of the V was meant to be twice as steep as that of Peace 22 (30° vs 15°), my method of measuring the angle was fairly crude and obviously not too accurate. It looks quite similar to P22.
