Alternative sources for Art Materials: fabric & leather paint, dyes, & raw materials

Atlanta is blessed with hordes of creative folks and many of you are interested in redesigning your look– or even redesigning the concept of “fashion” altogether.

bless you.

Being a costume designer myself i appreciate the need to create that shirt that dress that doublet that fabric or even those shoes that are lodged on the periphery of your thoughts.

Please do pursue these creative paths. The fashion world needs a regular shake-down, and people need to distinguish themselves from the ready-to-wear mobs that strut these city streets. Don’t get me wrong, I love the traditional fashion empire, and I myself wear tons of standard brands, but nothing beats the creative flash of inspiration zinging off an individual’s unique pieces. If you have been in the store you’ve probably heard me ooh and aah over various spectacular pieces that my customers have toddled in wearing.

I also love that blurring of the “fine art,” “fashion,” and “craft” borderline. Blur away, baby.

I love that stuff.

So how can WE help you? Well, we DO have a small assortment of really high quality fabric inks and paints. Following this blurb is a listing of alternative suppliers and notes if you need what we don’t currently carry.
