Tie-dye love


I'm so in love with Shabd's new tie-dyed pieces. Aren't they beautiful? They're out of my budget, but they're truly works of art.

P.S. Fun fact: Shabd taught Martha Stewart how to tie-dye!

  1. I think if you're teachin' Martha how to tie die, you're the man! I love the dresses/skirts & tops but don't wear this much color. Love 'em anyhow.

  16. oooh pretty! i like to rummage through my mom's closet for some of her african tie-dye dresses and kaftans; she'd really appreciate it if i just got some of my own!

    not in love with those prices though...

  17. Wow, those are gorgeous. The last thing I tie-dyed was a pair of socks... and they did not look that lovely. I wonder how she does that!
    Thanks for posting!

  18. Wow, I love this design on those outfits! As soon as I hear tie-dye I think of pieces that just won't compliment anything, but these ones are definitely the exception!
    Take care!

  20. The subtle, muddled grey tones, and the few pastels woven in the mix, reminds me of eggs dipped and then left out in the morning mist.

    Cheers!

  21. teri, you're so right -- my grandfather used to die eggs and it looks so similar! :)

    I thought you might like this wonderful, chic, and simplistic tie-dyed scarf (the how-to is in German but the videos are pretty self-explanatory).
    This is the result: http://www.mait-studio.com/images/stories/Teaserbilder/Projekte/T_pj_Batiktuch.jpg

    And here's how they made it:
