WhooHoo! Now I know what Chris looks like ~ I don't think I've seen a pic before.

That shirt makes him look damned handsome Dawn! Maybe when we take some pictures at Tiki Caliente, we can do some "before" and "after" shots; before in an ugly shirt, hair uncombed, dorky look on the face. Then after in your shirt, all spiffed up and looking suave! :lol:

I've been busy the whole time I just havent been posting here. There are about 40 new fabrics I did an entire series of serigraphs for Falling Cocos and a lampshade. all stuff I cant really post here just yet. Im finally getting to the pieces I CAN share. gearing up to vend Tiki Kon in Portland, I'm doing that event this yr instead of Oasis.

Dawn, I got an e-mail from Spoonflower that they were changing their printing process, does that mean anything to me?

S
Sophista-tiki posted on 06/13/2012

Spoonflower has revamped their colors, I've gotten 3 new color chat=rts from them and I think that they have it the way they want itnow, I dont see that this change will affect anyone unless theyre really uptight about how colors print from the old way to the new way. I havent reallu noticed a difference. What I would like from this change is for the colors /printing to be more resilliant, not fade from washing. ( which is why I tell people to take care when washing their shirts so the colors stay nice and bright)

i finally figured out what the problem was sort of by accident and process of elimination. just some weird glitch that apparently only applied to me.
