I have a shirt hanging outside on a tree

Seriously.

Can you guess why. It involves food and rocks

I know, you have set up a rock garden with your new CHIA-SHIRT as the centerpiece.

Hmm. well, you have a fire going, with rocks around it, to cook food. But the fire is also helping dry your shirt, which somehow got wet. am I right?

You played poker with a tree and it won, even the shirt off your back. It took all your food and now all you have to eat are rocks. Simple. I'm right aren't I?

Nope, but another clue is that the sun ruined part of my plan and the color purple is involved

Tie-dye T shirt? I think rocks are involved in making them. Possibly used some food dies? The sun has bleached out some of the colour?

No tie-dye. but getting closer.

Tie-dye would have succeeded but i was going for the grand scheme.


Also no commercially produced dyes

You are koolaiding your shirt?

Nope, it all natural. No koolaid

This guess has got to be wrong... I have seen shirts "accidentally" dyed with purple streaks on a washing line by starlings after they have been gorging on black berries. The dye is natural and purple but no, you can't mean that?

oh god... it commited suicide didn't it? and its blood is purple . im truly... truly... sorry *sympathetic look*. i hope your okay about it

Berry dying???

I smashed up wild grapes to make a juice to dye the shirt in

but i got a little impatient so even if it does work, it won't be something I'd want to wear in public. I also had to throw it in the wash because the weather wasn't allowing for me to leave it outside. It will be interesting to see if its still purple when the cycle finishes

I might try it again sometime, letting it soak for a few hours and see what happens then. Or just go with the tie-dye look and then it won't matter if there are dark spots in some places and light streaks in others

This was an old whit t-shirt I had that had gotten a little bit of yellow tinged from being washed wrong. I never would have been wearing it in public again anyway so its no great loss.

But still I think it would be neat to have a shirt dyed by grapes

Awesome! I was pretty close though, wasn't I?
