Tie Dye - Spiral Design

This is a how to on how to make a spiral pattern on your Tie Dye t-shirt. 

Lay your material on a flat surface. Place your thumb and a couple of fingers together on the cloth at the point which will be the center of the design. Using the weight of your fingers to hold the cloth in place, start twisting. After each twist, flatten the material with the palm of your hand to keep the folds from rising. With your other hand, bring the loose ends into the circle and continue to twist until the whole thing looks like a fat pancake.

Now take rubber bands, and without disturbing the shape of the pancake slide the bands under the cloth so that they intersect at the center. Use as many as necessary to retain the circular shape, about twice the number shown in the illustration at right for most tie-dyes. If you decide to immerse, instead of squirting, just set the cloth gently in the dye bath, do not stir. For an interesting effect, prevent the cloth from submerging, either by using less water or by placing the cloth on a prop to hold it out of the dye a little. Some materials will float automatically. Then sprinkle a different color dye in powder form over the top of the cloth, being careful not to get any in the other dye solution.

60s interview

When thinking of questions to ask during a interview keep in mind historic and life changing events.

• What was the 60s like? 
• What events happened? 
• Who do you know that was alive during the 60s?
• Were you apart of any big events of the time?

These are all great examples of questions you could ask in your interview.
