I'm asked this question quite a bit and I figured this would be a great place to elaborate on just a few of my never ending passions in this journey we call life. I've always been a very creative person since I can remember with a high degree of fascination in all things metal and their moving parts. Color composition and optical balance are also very interesting and I feel that these factors influence me on a daily basis. I have a great inquisitiveness of how things work and fit together, but not just with inanimate objects. I always find my self engulfed in the way all creatures interact, communicate, and coexist with each other. By always trying to keep an open mind with a positive attitude, I found that I am able to see things from a different perspective and achieve a true feeling of balance which I use to create my art in unaltered artistic freedom.
I've always been interested in tie dyes, but it wasn't until a year ago that I became involved in creating my own tie dye t shirts. My wife Chelle and I just couldn't seem to find the right colors or patterns that we liked, so after a lot of research and trial & error, we finally were able to make some really cool tie dyes ourselves that everyone really loved! Not to mention the fact that the ones that we did find were priced so high. We always try to keep our prices low and offer a high quality tie dye that will last for many years. We love wearing our tie dyes just as much as you do and when we have a favorite, we want it to last! Check out our store, Billys Twisted Tie Dyes.
I just started my new venture in chainmaille last year when I had some time between tie dyes. I didn't really realize all that could be done with some jump rings and a creative spark. That's all it took and now I'm finding myself with endless chainmaille possibilities both in making pre-cut jump rings for my fellow artists and in creating finished chainmaille fashions! I just love the way chainmaille weaves flow and can form some very interesting patterns. It really does compliment my tie dye designs and I can't wait to see what I come up with this year! I'll keep you posted. Check out my Etsy store, Maillice In Wireland.
