Welcome,
....You asked for it and finally, you got it. Here is the beginning of my tie dye website that will eventually lead to an array of pictures, schedules of shows, biography, color designs, product lines, online ordering, and more. This has been thought about for awhile now but I want to do it right so please allow me the time to organize the look and create the tie dye site you will want to keep coming back to time and time again.
I have just begun my 25th season of tie dyeing and have enjoyed creating works of art for people of all ages, sizes, and political preferences. For those of you who know me, I sell the majority of my tie dye pieces at craft s
hows, street faires, and art festivals. This has always been the best way to visually see, touch, and try on the various garments in an array of fabrics, colors, and sizes.
......In the past people have requested certain colors for me to create with but don’t always have any idea of what works. When I create my designs and color schemes, I choose colors that blend and work well together.This has always been the focus of my art and what hopefully makes me stand out from the others. What is or will be seen on the color and design page of this site are color schemes and designs that I think go well together. I currently have over 10 designs and 45 color schemes I work with on a regular basis with even more on the horizon. There
are times, for less than a better word, where I break from the boredom and repetition and switch up the 2, but I know it works. Although I have created these set designs and color schemes, what you are getting is truly one-of-a-kind wearable art. From 10 feet away two identical shirts, dyed exactly the same, may look exactly alike. But when held up 2 feet away, one can then identify the unique patterns and differences in each shirt. There are never two alike.
......That’s why this art form is SO COOL.That’s it for now. Please keep in touch with my website as it expands with new pages, product lines, color and design schemes, festival and show schedules, and just plain fun.
Enjoy!
