Xena's Tie-Dyes
My name is Xena Olson. I make fantasy coats from Dharma, tapestries, t-shirts, shower curtains, front tie pants, fishermans pants, hoodies...If it is plant based fiber, I tie dye it! I am also a featured artist at LoveOnHaight in San Francisco.
The poem I wrote explains my inspiration:
Tie dyes are like rainbows, candy to the eye,
attracting happy energy from all who pass them by.
Love begins the process, it starts out all the same,
raising that pH, to brighten up your game.
Using simple math, the stuff we learned in school,
a protractor, a compass, and a little bit of swirl.
Break out a guitar, you may not ever play
and begin to write a song of color for display.
When fiber meets the dye, covalent bonds are formed,
just to make you happy, your heart forever warmed.
Wrap them up with love, overnight they will dine,
the world can be changed, one tie dye at a time.
