Shirt Meaning:Some time in the future, the Indians said, the animals would begin to disappear. People would no longer see the wolf, or the bear, or the eagles. And, the story goes, the giant trees would also disappear. And people would fight with each other and not love each other. And, the story goes, the beautiful rainbow in the sky would fade away, and people would not see the rainbow anymore.
Well, children would come. And these children would love the animals, and they would bring back the animals. They would love trees, and they would bring back the giant trees. And these children would love other people and they would help people to live in peace with, each other. And these children would love the rainbow, and they would bring back the beautiful rainbow in the sky. For this reason the Indians called these children the rainbow warriors.
Here is the shirt without the rainbow. I added a
medicine wheel to the design representing balance and I also included a
Raven representing higher consciousness.

I'd also like to give a shout out to this months Blue Road model, Shera. She has always connected herself to mother earth and has helped inspire that connection within me as well, from all the many camping trips we shared together sleeping out under the stars, to the time she asked me to help her plant a tree on Earth Day. This girl is amazing! Shera has also inspired me to paint, after she did her first (and amazing) mural on my bedroom wall in 10th grade! Check out some of her portfolio pics at

I have Sizes Medium and Large. Inseam from armpit to waist is 16" on both. All shirts are pre-washed.
They are one of a kind and created with the help of my Viking (that's right, she's a Viking) Husqvarna 150 Electronic sewing machine made by the Swedenites. Which brings me to my next point...because I did sew these with a sewing machine that I often lose patience with, (that Viking spirit has a mind of it's own) they've got little issues here and there. Nothing that a buyer would notice, but plagues me nonetheless. That's why I am selling them only at UME. That way the buyer can get up close and personal with my adorable mishaps and still fall in love with it. Rather than buying it from me online, then cursing my name when it shows up at their house. I really don't need my name cursed right now.

I also want to acknowledge Casey Kawaguchi for sketching my logo. He brings an indescribable element to anything he works on that is completely unique to him, and it makes everything he does AMAZING! Here he is representing his other passion, music. Below is the first screen print of his sketch. It turned out great!
