    Anyone who has done home tie die and/or batik knows the magic that the featured artist creates. I am in awe.
  • @mililaniman
    Tie-dyed patterns are endlessly creative and enjoyable to look at. I have one such shirt that matches well with my jeans.

    I always liked the idea of tidying a t-shirt in the mud of the places you've traveled to for the memories.😊😊😊
  • Awesome!! I love anything that’s tie dyed. I also love peace signs. I was born in 1962 so I guess you can call me a hippie and I am proud of it.✌️

    Creating something is giving purpose and happiness. Sadly, nowadays everything is ready made,so people has more time doing useless stuff. Start creating.
  • Austin has inspired me for some time now! I mostly ice dye, but a few months back I watched one of his (much appreciated) YouTube videos and was inspired to mix liquid dye, again. And, my results were fantastic! His generosity of sharing his processes and work is inspiring and very appreciated by me! I am also a true believer that art can help heal, and definitely build an inner confidence/peace within. Every day is an opportunity for a new adventure! Adventure on! 🙌❤️✌️🎨🌈

    How can you possibly not mention John Sebastian's stunning Levi "suit of light". He has often said that the suit may have as many fans as I do.
