Tie Dyeing for the Tulsa Ballet

I was asked for assistance in tie dyeing shirts for an upcoming ballet performance. The factors to consider in this project were different than those in dyeing shirts for personal use. Although each shirt should and would be different, it was essential that the color pallet and intensity look good on stage under lights. Fortunately many of these decisions were made before I entered the picture. However we did have to experiment in getting the right balance between light and dark areas and patterning of the shirts. Sometimes a shirt was dipped a second time into the dye bath to tone down bright white areas. It was an enjoyable day spent in the costume shop for the Tulsa Ballet and I'm getting comp tickets for the production!
