As requested...tee shirt pictures...discharge dyed and hand painted
These shirts have been hand painted using formosul a discharge chemical. I love the mystery of this process you never know how it will look until it has been steamed and washed. No two shirts are exactly alike.
I sell these shirts for 20.00 for a short sleeve tee and 25.00 for the long sleeve. This does not include shipping which usually runs about 2.50.
If you would like to purchase one you can find a selection at Oregon Trail Roasting Co. in Belleville, Illinois or at By Design Gallery in Alton, Illinois. Otherwise I can be reached at my e-mail jacque@jacquedavis.com to arrange shipping.
Stay tuned more pictures soon.
Okay girls you have your pictures!
Be well and remember these are the Sweet Years!

Back to Work
Toward Home 2008
I hope you all enjoyed the holiday season... I had a great time visiting with friends and family. We hosted a New Years pajama party it sure was nice to be comfortable all evening.
I learned to knit a simple scarf and have one in process. My daughter is almost finished with her third scarf.... she is a very fast knitter. Today she is home sick after a fainting this morning mid shower. We suspect flu dehydration but will be seeing a doctor this afternoon to make sure. She is currently feverish and on the couch reading Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice. I am enjoying the unexpected day off from my coffee shop job while keeping an eye on Savannah and doing some research on dyeing silk.
Saturday my husband and I sat down for a lengthy assessment of my work processes and I learned a lot and will be making some BIG CHANGES in my work space and work schedule. This was really interesting and also something I resisted a long time... now that we have started I don't know why I waited so long. Process improvement will only help me become a better artist and will determine my new work space requirements, and future investments in some remodeling of our home to allow me to work here rather than leasing a space. This is very exciting! Stay tuned for pictures. I am looking for contractors to begin work as soon as possible.
My line of discharge dyed tee- shirts continues to sell well and I am developing new designs for Spring.
The art quilt pictured in this blog sold just before Christmas.... I will miss it as it is one of my favorites.
I am hoping you enjoyed the season.
