Color Tonic
Share
Color is a tonic, good for what ails you. I dye unique silks, wools, cottons, and other natural fibers in the interest of spreading color around!

Q: This shirt started out yellow, and I used 3 pinks, two oranges, and another yellow - so why are there green spots?
A: one of those pinks leaned more purple than I remembered, and whatever blue was in that mix must have combined with the base yellow.
I've been doing this for years and the surprise element is still one of my favorite parts!

This is the second time I've gotten a notification that FB would like for me to use AI to promote my business. I want to assure all of you that AI is not, could not, and will never be part of my work. I dye or paint each thing I make individually, by hand, both because I love the process and because AI can't create art - only copy it.
Pic of the notification, and one of a recent piece done with permanent watercolors and silk dye.

Madison! I am at the Holt Center for all your silk needs!
This sample of the blue patent leather is a more straightforward Travelers Journal style, with no pockets, but sized to fit regularly proportioned notebooks instead of the proprietary TJ ones. The notebook shown is 8.25x5.5.
More planner covers! I have patent leather in blue, red, and lavender, and since I can sew the pockets by machine they are much more affordable than the heavier leather. No hand painting available on these. $35 pocket/A6 size, $50 8x5/A5 size.
