T-shirts

I printed the designs on these T-shirts using a labour-intensive batik-style process. I had to draw on the design and paint liquid wax onto the areas that I wanted to remain the original colour. Then I had to cold dye the shirts. It's quite cool to do, because both using wax and cold dyeing are highly unreliable, so you never know what the result will be until the shirts dry and you can iron off the wax.



















The dark blue t-shirt was the first one I tried: it should say "Lieblings Blume", but some of the wax didn't go through all the cotton fibres. Trying to get detail with this method is virtually impossible.
