Added: Considering that paintings on the walls of caves have been dated back to prehistoric times I think it's safe to say that it has been around ever since mankind began to walk upright.
Grab shirt where you wish the pinwheel to start. Pinch and pull the rest of the shirt down so it hangs twist shirt in direction you wish pinwheel to flow when it is tight to your desire rubbe rband it in sections of how many colors you wish like this
=|===|==|======|== Then pick the colors for each section. in this case 5
^top ^bottom(usually the neck and hem of shirt and arms)
If you want bigger white spots don't use a color in certain section. so 4 colors or 3 colors instead. depending on your shirt.
Dye each section then wring them dry. after it is drip free i believe you can take the rubber bands off. But I'd try a tester shirt first and test how it turns out, if it doesn't work that way leave rubber bands till dry then open.
Hope this helps!

You will be using your frontal left lobe of brain when doing any mathematical calculations or logical thinkings. At a point of time, when you are more into mathematics, you may start forgetting your family, miss your routine chores, lose your creativity skills, etc. Mathematics is indeed difficult, mathematicians (or people who have such brain) would be nerd, and the possibility of a mathematician to become a great leader is very low. I'm also learning mathematics to make my brain younger, without trying to miss the other aspects in life :)
Where can you find Doodle Art posters?
The short answer is Doodle Art International does.
While researching, I found the original 50+ Doodle Art Posters are everywhere this Christmas it seems, you'll do better if you search by the poster name you're looking for....example when I searched "doodle art aquarium poster" there were a lot of specific results, especially in Google shopping. However if you search "doodle art international" it shows 320 results there this year from that one Company alone. I also found there's a lot of false "Doodle Art Posters" for sale in the results, almost all lead to incorrect listings for anything but the original posters you're looking for.
I would just like to clarify something about this site..it is NOT an original Doodle Art site. The posters are all just copies from original posters collected. It has nothing to do with the original manufacturers (Price Stern Sloan, Rose Art, etc.) of the Doodle Art posters. I have found this out from doing a LOT of researching, and seeing an earlier version of this site about a year ago.

When wood artist create they use a particular type of wood, like oak, for example, and each board used has its own grain pattern even from a different branch of the same tree. So it a wood artist creates an item using oak, and another exact look-a-like in maple, and still another in say mahogany some wood crafter consider the grain and/or wood to constitute a one-of-a-kind. So one of a kind does not always mean that the item is an original.
