YoCatherine, Did you know that one of the first jobs I ever had was working for my step-mom hand-painting clothing? Lots of animals, bright colours, dyes, etc…the watermelon shirt made me think of this. I like that you’re linking up the DIY fashion projects…maybe next time I’m out west I’ll bring back some of her dyes and we can have a lil T-shirt JAm?….oooo
Check out her web site, it’s um, pretty wild. this photo is of my parents circa late 80’s:http://www.angelpaint.com/wear11.jpg
Her dyes and paints (she makes them herself, well the colors at least) are actually really nice. It would be fun to try to create some one of a kind Venus shirts with them with some of your designs…if you are into cheesyweirdfashion awesomeness.
Whaaaaaat? Those are your ACTUAL parents!!! They are so foxy!!!
So, I guess what we’re saying is that we have to batik / handpaint some majorly psychedelic t-shirts and I am sooooo into that!!!
BTW, You weren’t even going to bring up Steven Tyler, were you? I had to find out on my own…
Yes, that is what I am saying…there’s no way around it. so, so, so fun!!! We are going to look GOOD this summer…
ha ha ha. yeah, steven tyler is Jackie’s claim to fame. The outfit she made him (which is a one piece multi-coloured, psychedelic jumpsuit) now lives in the Rock’n’roll hall of fame…heh.
Rachie that is so trippy. I used to be a batik expert and have batik parties in the backyard all the time – maybe I can bring that shit back.
