After a year of travel I am back and ready to update Colortude.

My travels have taken me all over the United States.  I spent time in the big metro areas and on the back roads of America.

I am again inspired to create. I have been learning how to make various types of jewelry.

I have worked with copper, silver, and brass. Cutting, sawing and sanding. I have learned the basics of stringing beads. I have learned wire-wrapping.

Over the summer I will learn to use the 3D printer and laser cutter. I am partnering with a stone cutter/polisher.

I am very happy to be back in Austin, Texas USA and excited about designing jewelry for Colortude.

Due to extensive travel, colortude’s online store will be closed at least for the summer.
The soaps will be available in stores only.

If you would like to special order that can be arranged.  The soaps  will only be made and shipped one week a month.

Please email to find out when you will be able to receive your soap.

Thank you all.

Colortude does NOT send spam -
I can assure you that our soap does NOT make your dirty bits grow larger.
It only cleans them!

People sometimes wonder what the soaps look like after some use.
Here is a photo of one of the soaps with a good amount of use.
The image inside has not been reached yet.
The soaps actually get clearer with use.

New wrapping for Colortude’s soaps.

The current shrink wrap has been proven to be too thick and hard.  It also has nicked and scratched the soap a little bit when removing it.
 I found a much thinner shrink wrap material that is working great. 
The best part is the new wrap does NOT use heat.  I think this is  a great new method to keep the soap more in its  natural state. 
The wrap is clearer and the soaps look much better wrapped than they did with the past shrink wrap.  

We had a nice little vacation and now we are back in the office and online.

Hope you all had a great Christmas Break.  

Merry Christmas from Colortude.

Hope your day is Merry and (colorfully) Bright.

This is a workup of the new QR code.  It is going on a t-shirt.
The logo’s color is a bit off but that will be corrected in the printer. 
The logo will go in the front of the shirt and the QR code will be large and on the back of the shirt.  This will also go on the new business cards.
The QR code will scan to Colortude’s homepage. 

Here are just a few of the endless color combinations
that might be used for the holidays:
