Reflection About The Tie Die.

My reflections about the tie die:
I found it kind of hard as we had to figure out which way we wanted to make it so it’ll be eye catching. I simply made a technique by pulling it from the middle and tying knots around it to make a snake kind of shape, I then dipped it in different liquid to make the colours different and make it eye catching. The colours I chose were Blue, Orange and Red. In the end I found it really interesting to see how it would turn out, and how other’s turned out also. To be honest, I was disappointed about mine as the colours were fading and some was not clear enough or eye catching. But overall it was really nice to see and experience something like this. I would say I could do better by doing it carefully and dipping it in for more longer time.
