Independence Day--July 4th--is almost here! Time to celebrate!
with fireworks!
I love the patterns fireworks make! The circle here is actually the moon!
more of the moon! These fireworks patterns inspire me artistically to think of dyeing projects.
This photo was taken at a fireworks show after a Reds baseball game. My friend Sammy's band plans to use this photo for the cover of their new album Live Forever!
and with flags!
I just finished dyeing a bunch of these chamois (soft, very absorbent towels) for Kast-A-Way Swimwear. This particular flag chamois is taken from the Dive Cincinnati/Springboards and More website. (I cannot believe I didn't take a photo of a completed dyed flag chamois!) Here ↓ are some flags just after they've been dyed.
Speaking of flag chamois, the Summer Olympics are coming up, so these are very popular right now.
It would be so great to actually see one of my chamois at the Olympics! Do let me know if you see them. To the left and right are photos of some of my tie dye chamois for those of you who have been asking to see them. 
And here ↓ is a photo from a tie dye session at a Girl Scout summer camp in 2009 from the blog post Red, White, and Blue!

Fabulous fireworks! The moon just looks amazing within!
ReplyDeleteThose flag chamois are AWESOME! And I love the little boy's t-shirt too :)
I'll be watching out for your chamois! The fireworks photos are awesome -- I can see where they would give you some tie-dye inspiration. The first one is really cool with the fluffy smoke trails around the moon!
ReplyDeleteOh wow - I really love that second photo! You got some great shots :)
ReplyDeletefabulous dyeing! Up here in canada, we celebrate Canada Day on the first so it's fireworks for me as well!
ReplyDeleteFabulous fotos, flags, and finalia! Fireworks are banned here because is is so hot and dry! We don't to fry!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fireworks photos! That last one would make a neat album cover. Very cool. I enjoyed seeing your tie dye work, too. I hope that someone is able to spot one of your pieces at the Olympics this year.
ReplyDeleteWow - what red, white and blue fun! The fireworks are really neat! Congrats on doing the Olympics pieces!
