It took up at least half month to create the dye that looked blue. Then you sew the pattern you’re going to create on the cloth/garment, stable it by sewing into groups of bundle, then dip it in cold water first and immerse it into the dye.

Tie-dye and batikBatik and tie-dye are both traditional printing and dyeing methods popular among several ethnic groups in Yunnan. The principle of the two is similar, but the process is slightly different. Batik is just like photography, which uses the principle of photochemistry to carry out photochemical reaction on negative film (negative film) at first. According to the intensity of light, the degree of reaction is different. Finally, the darker the image object is, the more transparent the image is, and the whiter the image is, the darker the image is. The color of the dye also formed the appearance of penetration, and the color had a transition effect from nothing to something, if the alchemists had continued to study chemistry and batik, they might have been able to invent cameras.

The dye of tie-dyeing and batik can be the same, but the method of tie-dyeing is more vivid. The fabric does not rely on wax to attach, but relies on rope to wrap part of the fabric. The tied part is not put into the dye, and other parts form the same color as the dye, and the binding part also forms the transition of color due to the immersion of liquid.

Wall hangings and other handicrafts made of batik and tie-dye are highly ethnic and have been favored by tourists at home and abroad. If the color is more natural tie dye. But when it comes to pattern painting! The batik pattern should be more colorful, vividly reproducing the character style, scenery, flowers and birds, and people's appreciation. More lively.

Tie-dye and printing

Tie-dyeing is the use of needles, threads and other tools to tie the fabric according to their own preferences, and then dyed. Since the dye cannot penetrate the binding, various patterns are formed after the stitches are removed. It is different from printing, printing can generally be seen as local dyeing, to achieve printing, you must first make a screen (or roller) according to the pattern designed by the designer, print the color where it is needed, and do not color where it is not needed, the required process is more complex, and the printed pattern is completely consistent. Tie dyeing achieves the effect of printing with dyeing method, and because the manual tying method is not reproducible, there can be no exactly the same tie dyeing jewelry in the world, which is the unique charm of tie dyeing.

Tie dye and digital

Digital art is a new art category under the informationization and digital age, which reflects the strong modern cultural atmosphere. Gunalan Nadarajan, Head of the Department of Vision at lasalle-Singapore College of the Arts, said: "Digital art refers to the art forms and processes that make use of new developments in all aspects of computer technology, especially research results in information, communication, imagery, and biological sciences." This form of artistic creation is a change from the previous model. It breaks the mode and thinking of simple designer creation in the past, can integrate computer technology and related new information and new technology, and realize the combination of powerful computer storage function, editing function and designer's creative ability, and carry out the integration of super functions of "human-computer interaction" design. Thus, designers can maximize the effective integration and fission of various things and resources of various disciplinary systems, and produce a new visual image that is strange and surprising, unique, unforgettable and full of future.

Taking the market as the guide, creating new visual patterns on the corresponding carrier, forming unique creative, marketable and artistic value-added textile and garment products to meet the market demand, is the ultimate goal of modern tie-dyeing industrial art practice activities. Therefore, tie-dye art breaks through the restrictions of traditional and classic processes and materials, and learns from digital art to carry out modern tie-dye pattern design, which can be described as "advancing with The Times". It not only has a certain theoretical research value, but also has a strong application practice.

Tie-dyeing is a traditional Chinese dyeing process characterized by tying fabrics to create unique patterns. In the tie-dye process, blue is the most dominant color. This is because in ancient dyeing techniques, blue was one of the easiest and relatively stable colors to make. The use of indigo dye, in particular, produces a deep, long-lasting blue color. This color is not only easy to obtain, but its deep tone is also very suitable for expressing the charm of traditional Chinese culture. In addition, due to the particularity of the tie-dye process, blue can be better matched and integrated with other colors, making the works more rich and diverse.
