Hi. I'm Angela, and I'm a tie-dye junkie.

Hi.
My name's Angela, and I'm a tie-dye junkie.
It was all started by a onesie. My T-shirt shop had no baby things, and my suppliers didn't have any, so I made my first tie-dye onesie to sell in my store. I bought my first two-ounce jars of Procion MX from a little art store in Astoria. When I saw the brilliance of the colors, I was hooked. Now I'm up to one-pound jar habit, and experimenting more with color mixing and dilutions. I go to sleep thinking about TD, I dream about TD, and I wake up thinking about TD.
I don't tie-dye alone. My husband Brian supports my habit, and he ties the shirts that make the beautiful designs.
I'm looking forward to gleaning information from the wisdom of other tie-dyers.
Thanks for bringing me into the fold and sharing your wisdom and experience.

Welcome Angela! I'd love to be living in the Long Beach area....

Hi, Angela.  Welcome to the forum.  I share a tie-dye business with my daughter (she ties 'em; I dye 'em) and whenever I say something to her about taking things from stock, she says, "You know I only sell this stuff to support my habit."  I do know that -- and we're both walking billboards for the business.  I'm afraid it's only gotten worse for us -- we ordered our first five-pound jar of dye last year. 
Have fun exploring the forum -- there's lots of great information here and everyone is very generous with their knowledge.

Hi Jo.

You live in a beautiful area as well. My husband and I loved driving up there and exploring when we lived in Graham. Thanks for the welcome!.

Thanks, Releaf. Five pound jar. That's a lot of dye. We are dyeing everything we can to get ready for the Saturday market and the Washington State International Kite Festival this summer. I'm really excited about it. I think it's great how freely everyone shares their knowledge and experience.
