Welcome to Hooey Batiks!

The Hooey Batiks Mailing list…

If you would like to get an occasional e-mail telling you about any fabulous new stuff I’ve been working on and/or when I’ll be in your area, sign up for my mailing list — I’ll be sure to keep you posted. Also, in case you can’t make it to one of my art shows this year, I usually have my batiks for sale on Etsy, some custom printed Hooey design fabric at Spoonflower, and you can get a few of my images printed on fun stuff like cards, iPhone cases and mugs at Society6. If you’re a Facebook type of person head on over to my Hooey Batiks Facebook page where I spend way too much time posting pics of new designs (and cats)!!

Need some Hooey? You’ve got options!
Well, it looks like art shows are starting up this again year. I’ll start posting the shows I’m going to soon. In the meantime, here are some other ways to get your Hooey…

1) Get your Hooey through Etsy
I am adding new items to Etsy every day. Someday I need to get it together and add a shopping cart feature to my website. I’m looking into it, but for now I will add to my Etsy shop. Check the Hooey Batiks Etsy Shop regularly and make sure you’re on my mailing to keep in the loop! Use coupon code LOCAL for free porch pick up.

2) Buy a Gift Certificates
I’ve added a PayPal button to buy gift certificates for $20, $30 and $40 to be redeemed at a future show or online/email orders. Gift Certificates will be sent via email to the purchaser and will include an attached image for printing — that way you can send one to a friend!

3) Order directly from me — using just your email!
How do online orders work? Email hooeybatiks@gmail.com and ask what I have in a certain design, style or size. I will get back to you with pics if I have anything available. If I don’t have what you want, we can discuss!  Unsure of sizing? Take a shirt from your closet, drawer, floor… one that you like the way it fits. Lay it flat and measure across, under the arms, and lengthwise on the back from collar to hem. I can use your numbers to compare to my shirts. (Women’s sizing is so wonky: I can wear Small to 2XL depending on the style and brand!)

4) Porch Shopping
I will occasionally be open for Porch Shopping and/or mini-Backyard Tent Shows! For porch shopping, you can message me about any items you’re interested in (design, style, color, size… specific or general) and we’ll figure out a time that works. I can setup a rack with anything you might be interested in. Watch this space (and all the various Social Medias) for any announcements for the occasional mini-Backyard Tent Shows.
