"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain." - John Adams
This shirt started as a 100% Organic Cotton Edun-Live t-shirt, grown and sewn in Africa.
I garment dyed it twice to get the shirt a rich and beautiful green. The stitching stayed a natural white color which makes a nice counterpoint to the green.
The clothing pin design was applied using a sea sponge and a hand cut freezer paper stencil. There is a small BEEDOCS logo Gocco printed on the right sleeve in red.

Shirt Recipe:
1) Start with high quality Edun Live shirt (black)
2) Use a sea sponge to cover rubber stamp in color remover
3) Stamp design to remove the black die from shirt
4) Garment dye pink to color the areas affected by the color remover
The result are one of a kind, distressed looking prints that are incredibly soft because they are colored with dyes instead of a traditional printing process.

I was going to post a series of videos that to me represent musician warriors, but I haven't posted anything since the Sinead video last February. Well, the blog neighborhood seems to be heating up again, so I though it must be time for me to pick up my Vox blog again too.
Check this noise:
Yesterday we took advantage of the sunshine and built a planter box for our vegetable garden. I don't normally do stuff that requires saws and hammers, so it turned out pretty well considering. The design is a combo of something I found on-line and a vegetable garden that we pass on our walks to the zoo.
