Teal Fundoshi With A Twist

One of my favorite things - discovering new ways to manipulate the fabric to create a new design. I am using a 100% cotton voile in the color of teal for this fundoshi. Yes...a new color and design!

I think of these little bursts as tiny super-novas...and here is how I did it.....
1.  The fabric is damp....this is a very important step to get the flow correct.

2.  I created twists all along the fabric in a random manner. 



3.  The discharge solution is placed at the tip of the twists.

There you have it....a very simple approach that results in these little bursts of energy!

I couldnʻt resist using a dark background and added a teal gel to some of the lighting.

The lighting does wash out my skin tone, but I do like the final look of the photos.
