i couldn’t be more enthusiastic about my friend shabd simon-alexander‘s recently published book– TIE DYE: DYE IT WEAR IT, SHARE IT. shabd and i talked a lot about the book making process as she was working on this book (and i was working on mine). it’s a process that is tedious and labor-intensive– and eventually satisfying and rewarding. shabd is a great friend of mine, but even if i didn’t know her personally i would still sing praises for this book. it’s so beautiful –really stunning– and extremely thorough in explaining every aspect of tie dyeing. often with craft books i see a handful of projects that appeal to me, but with this book i really want to do every single project. shabd taught classes in my studio when i was holding them, and currently teaches at the TAC in nyc– but now her skills and superb teaching ability can reach a worldwide audience, and i think that’s fantastic.
This book looks spectacular–can’t wait to get my hands on it! On a random note, the title reminds me of Peggy Olson’s Popsicle slogan, which was, “take it, break it, share it, love it.”
Wish to have this dye book, cover pic is amazing 🙂
I can’t wait. I have been dying stuff lately and had some really stellar results. I’m sure this will up my game. 😉
thanks for letting us know! i had no idea…zoomed over and bought it!
This book looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing
This book is amazing! The color combinations really step tie-dyeing up. This summer I am having a tie dyeing party with friends, using this book as the basis. Saw it here a few weeks ago, thanks for posting it.
Amazing!!
Wow, the book looks amazing. I love the formatting and the pictures : ) Publishing a book is definitely no easy task!
Wow, the photos in this look great, stunning colour palettes, thanks for the recommendation, I’m looking to give tie-dye another go!
