Inspired by the ever-flowing lava
from Madam Pele, the Island goddess, this site has been
blessed for the past two years with correspondence from around
the world. I have enjoyed interacting with all the members of
the "Shary Shirt" club and feel so inspired when you ask
questions, order, reorder, and special order!!
For
all you new folks, TROPICAL TRAPPINGS Hawaiian clothing line
is a 16 year, single artist creation, of block printed
clothing. The linoleum blocks are designed and carved by me,
Shary Crocker.

| Each
garment is hand painted and printed into a unique piece of
wearable art! The soft to the touch paints I use will last for
years through machine washing and drying. I also sign the
shirts by hand to show you have an original.[See
the Artist at Work!]
Shipping is by US mail, and included in
the price.
With this up date, you will find changes
to some of the original designs that have been on the site for
a while, and new colors available. I am offering a nice XL in
the women's crop tees that should fit sizes 14 and 16, and
also a small, which fits about a size 4-5.
The new link LATEST RELEASES, will show
all the new creations available! Since I have been working
with the Conservation groups in my town, I have been printing
more plant life, these are a nice balance to all the ocean
print designs I have been doing. For the winter weather, there
are more boxy sweatshirts in new colors and designs. Soon
there will be a sports section, with running, biking,
swimming, paddling, and even triathlete designs! Yes, men's
tee shirts are available, too, with bold designs in strong
colors. Babies and toddlers have my heart right now, so I
love to make things for moms and grandmothers to give!! The
link will be updated quite often, so please check when you
feel inspired to have another "Shary Shirt" in your life!! And
if you have any request or questions please email me, and I
will get back to you quickly. |

I am continuing to create each year the
Chinese New Year tee. Since 2000 I have made the dragon,
snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, and dog. This year is the
year of the pig.
With deep respect of the Native Hawaiian
culture, may these shirts pass on the inspirations of ocean,
land, sun and wind.
May these shirt continue to make each of
us happy- those who enjoy wearing them and those who enjoy
making them!
Mahalo for coming to the site!
