Tom and Martine are global gurus of tie-dyeing and they have produced a wonderful series of instructional DVDs.
Start with "Tie-Dye 101", and they guide you through every step of the tie-dyeing process. Then there's "Tie-Dye 202
- Making Shapes" with instructions for hearts, arrows, stars, peace signs, the Alien, and more. "Tie-Dye 303" is the
master course in making mandalas, lotus blossoms, suns - if you'd like to make masterpieces like these above.
Check out an incredible gallery of tie-dye t-shirts, and sample the DVD tie-dye lessons from world leaders in the

How to make your own t-shirt designs:
Here's a description from Amazon.com about Carol Taylor's classic book:
"This beautifully illustrated book includes instructions for painting, stamping,
tie-dying, batik, marbling, and screen-printing T-shirts. Over 70 unique T-shirts
illustrated in full color....Offers a wide variety of appealing design possibilities....
This sumptuous book would be fun to read and look at even for the novice...[a]
treasure trove." Last time we checked, there were plenty of new/used copies
available starting at 1 cent! If you haven't got a copy of "The Great T-Shirt Book"
yet, rush now to http://www.amazon.com/Great-T-Shirt-Book-One-Kind/dp/0806987480.

"Sew Subversive... Down & Dirty
DIY for the Fabulous Fashionista"
Here's a teaser: "T-shirts are torn apart to make mini skirts,
shoulder bags and tube tops. It's true that the results have a shaggy
 and informal look, definitely suited to a young audience, but the
projects are quick and fun and get the creative juices flowing.
With its casual approach and offbeat creations, this is definitely not
your mother's sewing book." Street fashionista? Grunge? Goth?
Emo? Punk? Visit http://www.amazon.com/Sew-Subversive-Dirty-Fabulous-Fashionista/dp/1561588091
to buy this amazing book on garment re-engineering.
