Dye Diana Dye

Have you ever seen Shibori resist tiedye?  If not, do you have a treat in store when you visit Dye Diana Dye on 1000markets.com.  This is how she describes her artform:

"I'm dyeing with joy. I love dyeing things, I love color, and I love making these tops. There's just something intensely satisfying to me about these Shibori resist techniques - particularly the hand-stitched ones - perhaps it satisfies the part of me that needs to embroider. Except this embroidery all gets pulled out, and leaves behind color magic."

The above photo is just one of many gorgeous tops for sale.  If you'd like to see more stunning examples of this beautiful and unique artform, please visit Dye Diana Dye in Old Town!

The Glimmer Repository Jewelry Collection


"The Glimmer Repository Jewelry Collection is a menagerie of handmade artisan ornamentation created with the very finest gems" is how this artisan describes her gorgeous jewelry.  Glimmer's "Demeter Bracelet" is a exquisite example of the work awaiting you in her 1000markets.com shop.

Old Town Market is Live!

Welcome Home, to Old Town!


With much anticipation, it is our pleasure to introduce you to the artists of Old Town Market!

In the coming days and weeks, we will add articles about each of our fabulous arists whose items can be found in the "Old Town Market" of 1000markets.com. Be sure and use the handy "Follow this Blog" feature located on the left hand side, to keep track of our friendly and ecclectic market.

What will you find at "Old Town"?

The images we hope to evoke are similar to those you may find familiar ... an imaginary rural western-like location anywhere, a down-to-earth small town general store atmosphere, possibly an affluent small-town popular ski-resort town, or the quaintness found in the Old Town heart of any large city.

Thanks for finding us, and we hope to see you again soon!
