Hi all - We are hoping to get to Animal Kingdom one day during a visit to my folks the first week of March. Last year, I had made all of us spiral tie-dye Mickey head shirts that went over spectacularly well (my mother wears hers to exercise class & tells me all the other old ladies are jealous). So this time I would like to make something less "hippy" and more "nature-ey." I did find a bleach pen in the supermarket, and I am thinking of making the spiral circle mickey heads on brown or green shirts. (Of course, now I can't find any pictures of those spiral heads - can anyone send a link?)

Any other suggestions? We will be a party of 2 old people, 2 medium people, and a college freshman who thinks she's been deprived because we've never taken the train to Rafiki's Planet Watch. (Guess who begged for AK?)

In a side note- we are hoping to get GAD tickets for this day. We're signed up for Habitat for Humanity on Feb. 13. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that the blizzards stay away that week....

Thanks, but that's the shirt I made last year. The bleach pen is much simpler- just drawing with bleach on dark T-shirts. I remember seeing pictures here last year but I can't find them now, of course.

Here is a picture of some swirl Mickey head night shirts I did some time ago. Instead of the flour paste idea, I used "Color Block" made by Tulip and Tulip spray on paint. These were very easy!
