ABOUT US
James Herndon is the artist and Jeanelle Myers is the business manager. James’ mastery of color can be attributed to a background in painting. He realized his love of this art form in high school and went on to receive a B.A. degree in painting from the Atlanta College of Art in 1986. He continues to be passionate about painting to this day. He first dabbled in tie-dyeing while touring with the Grateful Dead after college. In the winter of 2002 we started our screen printing business and not long after, James decided to tie-dye some of our screen printed tees and from there tie-dye took off as demand for it grew. We make our dyes in our basement and we use alternative energy sources ~ solar and wind power ~ in our home. We sell our dyes at numerous music and craft festivals throughout the year and our store in
Many of the “blank” clothing that we dye comes from suppliers that partner with tailoring cooperatives in developing countries to ensure living, fair wages and safe and healthy conditions for the artisans and farmers employed by those cooperatives. We also get blanks from American Apparel which is a sweatshop-free clothing manufacturer based in
We want to sincerely thank all of our customers for choosing to do business with us & helping us to live the way we do. We really appreciate you! Thanks!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q-1. Will my tie-dye shrink when I wash it?
A. After the dyeing process, we wash & dry each item once, so your tie-dye will
arrive already pre-shrunk.
Q-2. Will my tie-dye bleed when I wash it?
A. James uses a lot of dye so some 'excess' dye will come out the first couple of
times you wash your tie-dye so for these first couple of washes we recommend
washing it in cold water either alone or with other dark clothing.
Q-3. Will my tie-dye fade?
A. As with all clothing, your tie-dye might fade after years of washing & drying.
We recommend line drying to increase the life span of your tie-dye as machine
drying is what wears clothes out. Check out the testimonials page to see what
other folks have said about the longevity of our dyes.

true to size.
Q-7. What if I am an adult buying a Jr. size?
A. Adults buying Jr. sizes should order one size up. Example: if you normally wear
a medium you should order a Jr. large.
Q-8. Why are some of your models faces blocked out?
A. We borrowed many of our pictures from the websites of the companies where
we get our 'blanks' from without the models permission so we had to make them
annonymous.
Q-9. Where did the names for your designs come from?
The designs are named after our dogs and our loved ones dogs, past and present.
Q-10. What's up with the Christmas order deadline?
A. We are a very small company (just the 2 of us... we can make it if we try...) and
some of the items that we dye come from the west coast so we have to allow extra shipping time for those, and we like to ship orders out no later than 1 week before Christmas so they're sure to make it under the tree in time.
