Featured Artist : Michael Martelli

Hi my name is Michael Martelli and I've been tie-dying for exactly one year. Last May I had a Arctic aneurysm and wasn't allowed to do anything strenuous for 3-6 months after the surgery. So while I'm trying to find things to do to keep myself occupied I found tie-dying. I dollars and I made some spiral T-shirts and they came out great. So off to the Internet I went. I ordered some primary colors from Dharma and had a goodwill down the street where I would get my blanks. T-shirts got me a little frustrated in the beginning but the sheets and flat fabrics really got me going. By Thanksgiving I knew I was on the something because a bunch of my wife's aunts bought my sheets to put on the back of quilts. And since then I've progressively gotten better and better. But I want to thank Dharma for their support in the beginning I called you guys every time I had a problem from fabric to soda ash to batching everything. I have spoken with the customer service rep name Edie. Who told me to do this along time ago because I showed her pictures and told her the whole story of how I started. But I want to thank you folks for being there and I hope to hear back from you. Peace
