A Trip to the Indigo Farm

On Saturday, April 24, 2009 i went to a farm.  Not a regular animal, cow and chicken farm, but an indigo farm.  If you are wondering what a n indigo farm is I will tell you right now.  An indigo farm is where we get our blue dye for all of our t-shirts.  I got to go there and make a t-shirt myself, which i am wearing  as i write this blog.  My favorite part of the field trip was making the t-shirt.  I loved the last part when I got to see all the tie dye designs that were on my t-shirt.  However, when it came down to the long and painful process of dying the shirt, let's just say that part wasn't my favorite.   Why you ask?  Well, let me tell you....this was not  your regular put the shirt  in the dye and let it dry. No, no... thyat would be too simple.   It was put the shirt in the dye dye for one minute and then take the t-shirt out side for another minute because it was the oxygen that turned the green dye into a blue dye, then do that process all over again 6 times.  However,  when  I finished ALL the steps my t-shirt came out really cool.  It was worth it!
