Some New T-Shirts

These are a few of our new crop of t-shirts this year.  We still have the usual rainbows and other regularly requested colors and designs, but we did add more black to our collection.  We also have added the peace sign to our regular stock.

Enjoy!

(Can you tell we like the lime and the black combo?!)





Our latest new artwork, the sun and earth!
Keep your eyes out for the rest of the earth and sun series!
 
 

Now this one...we really like this one a lot!
 Patriotic AND full of Love!

 






We have a whole babies series, this one is just so eye-catching





 Oversized (long) t-shirt/dress -- SOLD!







This one is a popular color combo with the kiddos...




Our nephew did this one, what an interesting ripple pattern!


A first attempt at a mandala, for the repeating pattern effect


Sometimes the t-shirts don't come out as we planned or we just don't like them, so they get to be "re-done".  This one was in the re-do pile, but instead my sister tried out a new process to add a color ink applique to the top, which fixed some of the problems with this shirt.  The possibilities for other small additions to other shirts is very exciting!


First attempt at an "arrow", looks like it needs more color saturation on the next try.




Also a first attempt at "eyeballs".  
Here are two different folding techniques, we're not sure which we like the best.



Here is the often-requested guitar.  Not bad, we'll see about doing more in the near future.





We had a family special order matching t-shirts, for when they go to Kings Dominion this summer.
If you see a whole crew of folks wearing them, please tell them we say hi!






Thanks for browsing.  Feel free to look back into other blog updates that have other patterns.
You can also catch us on Facebook.


We Loved Fenton Street Market!




The Fenton Street Market was very welcoming to us and the other 65 vendor booths that participated!  There was a variety of items, something for everyone!  We particularly loved the recycled stamps and maps, made into refrigerator magnets, rings, and more by Juanita's Adventures, as well as the magnificent glass art by HomeGrown Glass Art!  There were recycled bicycles for sale, clever silk-screened t-shirts, and just about anything else you could think of, including a train set that was setup "just for fun".  Our summer is booking up, but we are considering returning on 
August 18th.

Our booth all setup, we forgot the table cloths!


The Civic Center was also had a Health Fair, and a play area for the kids with oversized checker, chess, and connect 4 games.  This is where Chris wanted to play all afternoon!


The luggage carrier all loaded up with 250+ tie dyed items, mostly shirts!




Schedule Birthday Parties Early!

We also do birthday or special event tie-dye parties!  
We provide the supplies and dyes, you supply the kids (or adults) and a few hours, and we help them make the designs they want and guide the dying process.  We have volunteered for a teen event at St. Mary's Public Libraries last Fall, worked with 1st grade classrooms of children, two day care facilities and various private birthday parties.  The best part is when the children get to show off to others that awesome shirt "that I made!" as they tell others about the process and proudly wear the outcomes! 

Contact us if you are interested in reserving a date for a personal tie-dye party!
