Briefly, tie-dye isn't batik, and it isn't always garish. You make it by taking sections of the fabric of something (usually a T-shirt, but not necessarily) and tying them with rubber bands or string. Then you dip the item in one or more colors of dye. The dye doesn't reach the bunched-up places where the rubberbands were, which creates patterns of color on the fabric.

Thanks, :) it came out like that quite by accident. I love it. Note, at the very end of the sidewalk ahead of me, you can barely make out two umbrellas, red and yellow held by two women who were walking ahead of me.

Kind of like spotting a pair of people in the background wearing a black cowboy hat and a white cowboy hat! :D
