| I have used the technique of Batik for about 10 years and over the years have developed my own style. I began making cards as a result of the trials and tribulations associated with design in batik. On one particular occasion I found that my design was less than perfect, but the fabric was quite beautiful and I wondered what I should do with it? I started cutting out shapes and began making cards and eventually found that I preferred this style of design to the more traditional batik design (although I find myself going back to it now and then). After making cards and giving away the originals, I soon realized that the original had potential value in that it could be copied and that I would always have the original to keep. The nice thing with printing the designs is that the copy still captures the textural aspect of the design. This is not, however, the case with the Follow Me Turtle t-shirts. While the texture of the design is lost, a whole new medium and process is explored through screen-printing resulting in vibrant colors, perfect it would seem for children’s clothing. My connection to Vermont comes via Austin, Texas. My significant other was born and raised in Cabot, Vermont and so we spend most holidays enjoying the seasons in Calais and Burlington with family and friends. I have a great fondness for Vermont, but am realistic that a warm climate person like myself might have a difficult time adjusting to the long, but very beautiful winter. So, for now Vermont remains my fantasy place where I get to enjoy all the good stuff! Follow Me Turtle is a work in progress, with many possibilities on the horizon!
