Forging Your Own Patterns with Dashed Dye
Dash-dyeing is about positive aspects of letting go. There’s no way to control every part of the outcome—just like in life. But in that surrender, something beautiful happens.
Dash-dyeing is about positive aspects of letting go. There’s no way to control every part of the outcome—just like in life. But in that surrender, something beautiful happens.
By showing up authentically—grounded, messy, and human—you normalize imperfection and create space for genuine connection. Joy is found not in erasing flaws but in transforming them into something extraordinary. Pursue what lights you up, wear your colors boldly, and celebrate being beautifully human.
Abstract art invites reflection, connection, and creativity, and so does dash dyeing. This process isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s an emotional journey and an invitation to create.
Alexander McQueen didn’t just make clothes; he told stories. His designs were bold, fierce, and unapologetically emotional. He was a designer who poured his soul into his creations, and you can do it, too.
From ancient Egypt to the modern upcycling movement, the art of textile transformation has always been about more than just fabric. It’s a way to express creativity, honor tradition, and care for the planet. At More Joy, we’ve taken this timeless tradition and given it a revolutionary twist with our dash dye method, blending history, chemistry, and sustainability into every garment.
See how a trip to the museum might shift your mood in a way that your brain can know. The Nature of Color might show you what you need more of but you have to go there to experience it first hand! Bring your curiosity!
Creating together with Sara and her daughters during a Dash Dye session was a beautiful reminder of the power of family learning.
The beauty of Dash Dyeing goes beyond the colors on the fabric; it’s a colorful expression of friendship and memories.
So much of what we communicate is nonverbal, and clothing can be the quietest yet boldest way to say, “This is who I am.” Watching someone’s face light up when a friend looks them up and down, appreciating their style, is powerful.

💙 Power Portrait: Momo in Midnight Blue 🌌
From Morocco to Paris, and now to Grand Rapids — @m_o_m_o_g_u_e_y_e has carried his story across continents, shaping light out of hardship and style out of strength. Modeling for Marrakshi Life as a teen ignited his journey, and now, as he studies fashion in Grand Rapids and continues to craft a future that’s still unfolding — bold, intentional, and entirely his own.
Momo started in shades of peach and then landed on Midnight Blue — the color of depth, devotion, and becoming. Under the city lights, he moved like water and stood like sky — grounded yet infinite. His presence felt like calm power, like someone who’s not chasing the spotlight, but creating it.

✨ An Autumn Rainbow Grand Finale 🍂🌈
Hosted by @494_mag at the stunning new @nowgallerygr, this show was a living spectrum — ten humans, ten hues, each embodying a facet of fall’s beauty. Together, they told a story of harmony, courage, and transformation.
Color evolves like the seasons — shifting, deepening, and revealing new emotional tones as we move through life. This Autumn Rainbow explored what happens when color matures — when vibrancy meets depth, when joy finds grounding, and when self-expression becomes soul expression.

🌿✨ Wild Zen’s first Autumn Yoga Fest was pure magic. From yoga and music to guided breathwork and dancing, the space breathed beauty and joy. Under my More ∞ Joy tent, I played dress-up with some of favorite people and welcomed new friends discovering their power of color. Sitting on my bed, laughing, and seeing people’s eyes light up when they found their shade — that’s the magic. 🌈
Too many of us blend in — but when you put on color, you blossom. You stand out. You shine. I saw so much of that today, and it fills my heart. 💎
🪘 Tomorrow the joy continues:
1PM: Join me under The Spectrum Between Us (#44354) at ArtPrize — I’ll be drumming with Josh Dunigan.
8PM: Head to NOW Gallery / The Art of Life Studio for the Runway 494 Fashion Show (with 494 Magazine + GVSU’s Fashion Department).
Every day is a chance to choose joy, choose color, and let it transform you. I can’t wait to see you shine tomorrow. 💜
