Vivid Earth Tie Dyes is Dan Howard and Krista Duell. We are eastern Kansas residents and have been making and selling quality tie dyed clothing since the mid eighties. We really enjoy creating tie dye artworks and we are committed to working hard at customer satisfaction. Read some of the letters below and you will see that we get lots of praise for the customer service we provide. Dans first tie dye experience occured shortly before an Ultimate frisbee tournament in the early eighties. It was a team tradition to wear tie dyed jerseys so before the first tourney of the year all the newbies and a couple of veterans got together for a tie dye party. That was all it took and Dan has been dying ever since! Through experimentation and study with other tie dye artists he has developed his own unique tie dye style. Krista learned about marketing in traditional and unique environments! Degreed in Anthropology and professionally trained at selling water systems, she did some post-undergraduate studies in anthropology and found herself on tour with the Grateful Dead. Anyone who has experienced this phenomena knows of what we speak but for those who havent a very brief explanation. Before and after most every Grateful Dead show an outdoor marketplace gets set up, with people selling all types of hats and clothes, sandals, jewelry, and assorted artworks. Like pencil drawings and airbrush art, blown glass and sculpture and the list just goes on and on. There was a lot of real marketing experience to be gained in this environment and Krista absorbed all she could. With this background she recognized that there was a real demand for these Tie Dyes and it wasnt long before Vivid Earth was born. The two of us have been working to integrate our unique and in many ways complimentary talents into an evolving and always responsive art shop! We really hope you enjoy what you see in this on-line store and will stop back often to see whats new.

Finally getting around to dropping you a line to thank you for the custom-made short-sleeved dress. It arrived last week and is absolutely gorgeous. YAY! You may remember we were visiting Austin at the beginning of April and bought a little-girl dress and pants for my mom (who is in love with your stuff -- Ive forwarded your card to her, too!). We were so inspired by your cool clothes that my daughter and I had a tie-dye adventure yesterday. Snatched up all the white stuff we could find and went town -- underwear, pajamas, even tights! Wasnt so good about the gloves -- wish you could see my hands today! Hee hee! :) Anyways -- thanks again for the gorgeous additions that have made our wardrobe incredibly colorful. :) Tracy Date sent: Sat, 19 Feb 2005 Dear Krista and Dan: I just wanted to let you know how much Im enjoying the items I purchased from your booth in Austin last week. Ive seen lots and lots of tie-dyes, and yours are among the prettiest and most colorfast Ive ever found. Thank goodness someone keeps this wonderful craft going. I plan to visit your website after sending this, and just may order a few other items! If Krista was the woman manning the booth, shell remember me as the lady who walked up, grabbed a bunch of clothing and as I checked out, she said, You look like you can do just fine on your own. She was courteous and helpful, and, if you dont come back to Austin in the near future, Ill be directing folks to your website. Ive gotten hundreds of compliments on the clothing I purchased last week. Sincerely, Nina. Date sent: Tue, 31 Aug 2004 Hi Krista, We received the shirts. Theyre great. Thanks so much for the bandanas for the dogs. They look so cute in them. Well definitely send you a photo of the team. Thanks. Patty Date sent: Thu, 06 May 2004 These both look so cool! After flipping back & forth SEVERAL times I decided to go with number 2. I cant believe I am getting this let alone wearing it cause I am absolutely terrified of spiders! But these are so neat I just cant resist-Ill get over it. Thanks for working with me on this. And how appropriate that this order is coming together over the Web :) Thanks again Maria Date sent: Tue, 02 Jun 2003 Hi Krista and Dan, Always a pleasure seeing you both. Enjoyed wearing your beautiful creation, the sarong/cape was perfect. Pleasantly surprised with the ease of wear, was certain my body would revolt and say no dress here; but even the bold brillant colors seem to suit the occasion perfectly. Thank-you both for sharing your beautiful artistry with all of us. Coltons fish suit is adorable and even he seems to notice the bright colors. Loving Blessing, Barb Date sent: Fri, 17 May 2002 Hi Krista, I received my order the other day and the shirts are PERFECT! Thank you, the girls love them. Sincerely, Cherie Date sent: Fri, 14 Sep 2001 I got my shirts today and they are wonderful. Thank you. Hutch Date sent: Tue, 22 May 2001 I bought one of your long sundresses at the Sante Fe Bluegrass fest. Just wanted to let you know Im really pleased with it, it looks darling on and is a perfect fit (s/m) !!! Im still deciding if I need the overblouse, I have husky arms, haha! Also I wondered if you all ever did any other colors other than what you show? Thanks looking forward from hearing from you. Karol. Date sent: Wed, 1 Mar 2000 Just a quick note to tell you that the bedspread, pillow shams and pillow covers are wonderful! You two did a fabulous job and it was just what I was looking for. You are great at individualized customer service and your continued efforts will make you a very successful company. Thank you for assisting me on the tie-dye bedroom project. Karla Dayton, OH Date sent: Sun, 2 Jan 2000 Krista and Dan, just wanted you to know how much my mom loved her sweats!
