Tie die

Yesterday we went to go to do some tie die scarfs. My mom Abby and I went to go do it, we just left daddy alone by himself to go sit somewhere. So we toke a tuk tuk over to the the place where we did the tie die scarfs. So we went to go sit down and wait for about 45 Minutes. After waiting for the tour to be over we then followed our guide to a professional tie dier and he joined us and first he let us pick which color we wanted. I chose light pink and Abby and mummy chose light blue. so then our guide told us to go pick out our ingredients, One of Abby's colours were yellow, so she went to there garden and dug up some Tumerick for the colour and then boiled it and dipped her string to keep on the pot. After that we used chopped up some sappan wood and it gave us a very nice pink. 

Okay, so after we made our tie dye scarves.  Mummy and Abby dipped there scarves in fermented die, which smells like Poo, and there was also a cockroach in mummy's pot, which looks like Poo. And for mine, well I collected leaves from a teak tree, so we boiled the leaves and made my light pink, but just before that we made our patterns and they turned out like this.

  1. Robbie, that is awesome! The patterns are really lovely. A great story of your afternoon craft. Glad you left Daddy to "sit somewhere"! 😀
