This is my first attempt to make this design. I saw this design almost everyday in a tie dye group made by different artists, that's why I thought to give it a try. Credits to the original creator of this design and thank you for giving us inspiration.

Chocolate Brown
Maroon Oak
Deep Purple
Turquoise Blue
Navy Blue
Black
