Hi! I'm Carol, owner & tie dye artist of High Hopes Dyes & Gifts. I realized a lot has changed in the past year, so an update is in order.  I'm into my seventh year as a tie dyer, although now I'm no longer dyeing full-time. In July of 2022 I accepted a position in Herkimer, NY as a service coordinator for an independent living community for seniors and disabled persons. I absolutely love my job, but I still can't leave tie dyeing behind because I love, love, love creating and working with colors. 

2023 is going to be hectic! In addition to the new job, our daughter is getting married to her high school sweetie. 

Because of all this, I'm mainly focusing on custom orders, so please message me if I can help you. 

The main things I want you to know about my tie dyes is: 

• My chosen form of tie dyeing is ice dyeing, but I also dabble in liquid dyeing and am teaching myself batik in my spare time - although that's rare these days. 
• My tie dyes are intense in color. 
• The inspiration for my dyes comes from the designs of the 60's and 70s with free form patterns. 
• Every item is sprinkled with love, joy, peace . . . and a whole lot of high hopes! 

I look forward to creating something special for you!
