Shibori Using Indigo on Cotton and Silk Samples

A composite photo showing several materials
using several techniques

This piece was pleated by hand before dyeing
silk habotai  fabric and cord

This piece is cotton tied over screws just after it dried


By doing this every few inches you are able to make an allover pattern

This has been folded many times and refolded  then clamped

I will show a bit more of how to do this particular form later

This is it for today
 stayed tuned for Kool aid dying in microwave next.
