About
The Shirts
All
of my designs are done originally in batik
on cotton fabric, silk or even japanese rice paper from sketches.
The finished batik is then scanned into the computer and the image
is converted to the necessary formats for screen printers to make
screen separations.
These
exclusive designs are screenprinted on heavyweight 100% cotton
tee shirts and sweatshirts using what is called 'simulated process
screen printing' - a technique that can use up to 12 colors, but
does not make the design feel thick or plastic-y. You can't feel
any difference between the design and the shirt. After much research,
we found this was the only process to get the detail and colors
of each design to portray the intricate characteristics of batik
AND leave the shirts as soft and attractive as they truly are.
All
of our shirts are 100% cotton - these quality shirts will
NEVER PILL (don't you hate that!?) and will always stay soft
and comfy for the life of the shirt. You'll have your BatikShirtShop
shirt a long time and it will just keep getting better with age!
Unlike
some other internet t-shirt vendors, you won't find celtic designs
that are simply copied, downloaded, manipulated in Photoshop and
slapped on a cheap shirt. Each of our designs starts out as an original
BATIK PAINTING
done by artist Ruthellen Kellogg. All of our designs come in short
sleeve tees, and some also come in either long sleeve tee shirts
and thick, comfy sweatshirts. Many of our designs are on pigment
dyed tees and sweats for that pre-washed look, and won't shrink.
The
best available cotton tees and sweatshirts and cutting edge print
process ensures a very long lasting design and shirt.
Sizing
We carry sizes from Small to 2XL in all of
our designs to accommodate everyone looking for cool short sleeve
tees, long sleeve tees and sweatshirts. Occasionally, some sizes
may sell out in certain designs. If you are looking for a certain
size (even smaller or bigger) - let
us know and we can custom order any shirt. We can notify you
when we are reordering, and order any size/style shirt you want
in any design on any color!
