Friday 20th January: Lizzie Kings' "Tie & Die" book launch















When Lizzie Kings's publisher announced the launch of her book last night she simultaneously told the crowd that Lizzie has become one of their favourite authors.  Needless to say we are all equally fond of the magic wonder that is this creative gem of all things gold, yellow, exotic and cosmic.  Now her spectrum tie-dye techniques are documented in a step-by-step manual for any budding textile designers to have a go at recreating the aesthetic.  The party at Hackney's pink painted cafe Palm Vaults is hung with macrame plant pots, of which some dip dye variations appear in the book.  Have a peek for yourself in any book store from today, out on Pavilion Books!

Friday 20th January: Lizzie Kings' "Tie & Die" book





Lizzie King has just launched her "Tie & Dye" book to turn her motto "Get Rich or Tie-Dyeing" into a do-it-yourself guide.  There are 15 projects to try out including water-melon bunting for summer parties and her signature rainbow shoe laces which she has made for NIKE in the past.  Here she sent me a complete kit to road-test the carnival sock instructions for red/gold and green feet ready for the road.  Here are my stages of preparation, dying and the finished article joining my archive Lizzie tassel necklace for the collection.  The book is now available nationwide and thru her own website with this personalised tote bag as a deal at her launch last night!............. see the next post.
