About this Product
Ice-dyed, not tie-died!
One of a kind hoodie sweatshirt, individually dyed by hand. A very soft cotton/poly blend. Size Medium
Classic style, unisex (men's) fit. Size up, for a more relaxed comfy fit. Large hood with tie strap and a barrel front pocket. Cotton/poly blend fleece is soft and machine washable.
The ice creates beautiful, soft and random patterns. I usually choose 4-6 colors, though occasionally I surprise myself with just 2. The colors separate due to using ice and not heat, and blend with each other to form unique, one of a kind patterns. Ice dyeing is great for those individuals who love color and who aren’t afraid to stand out in a crowd.
I appreciate your business—I realize visitors have many artists and vendors from which to choose. My goal is to have happy and satisfied customers who return to find something new and wonderful every time.
Care instructions: machine wash in cool (preferably with like colors the first time). I hang dry, but they can be machine dried on low.
Patt711
Meet the Maker
My name is Patt, spelled with 2 t's because I like to stand out from the many Patricias and Pats in this world.
Creating new, colorful art suits my multi-tasking lifestyle.
Born in San Francisco and raised on the Peninsula, I found knitting, then weaving as "indoor sports" after moving to the coast and experiencing summer’s heavy coastal fog.
Vivid colors and textures drive my work as a textile designer. I consider myself eclectic — I knit, weave, felt, dye, and design and create jewelry. My passion is blending colors and textures into jewelry and textile designs while not following rules and doing the expected. I strive for wearable art pieces - my works are one of a kind. I create unusual pieces and prefer being ahead of the crowd rather than part of it.
Ice-dyeing led me to dye textiles for fashion designers. My work has sold in stores and at craft shows 4 to 5 times a year. I love the in-person selling, but like many artists, the pandemic forced me online, which has been a bonus because now I have new customers from all over the country.
I started online as Patt711 on Etsy and success encouraged me to add GoImagine.com with its new give-back concept. If you live in or visit the SF Bay Area around Thanksgiving, I also participate in Open Studios in November and that information can be found on our website: www.colonyofcoastsideartists.com
I hope you enjoy my art as much as I do creating it.
How it’s Made
All ice-dyed pieces are individually hand-dyed by me as the artist. I usually choose 4-6 colors and even when I dye several items in one container, no two look alike. Ice dyeing takes at least 24 hours and because I'm using ice not hot water, the colors in the dye separate and create new colors as well as blending with neighboring colors. They resemble watercolors.All ice-dyed pieces are individually hand-dyed by me as the artist. I usually choose 4-6 colors and even when I dye several items in one container, no two look alike.
