| I have this book and love it This book is one of the first editions which I bought one year when I was at Arrowmont working on Surface Design. Yoshiko Wada taught a class in Shibori. I use indigo to dye shibori in the warmer months. I use Kool-Aid when I work with children I use commercial dyes when it is not possible to use natural dye. The book I like to work with is below. |

| We will use this book to see how I do the lining for the Georgia Mag Bag This book "Shibori Designs and Techniques" by MandySouthan has wonderful photographs and directions for shibori techniques. I will show you how I do a technique where I use a PVC pipe which is small enough to fit in a dye container on top of your stove. Quilting thread, a piece of tape, your iron and ironing board, and the PVC are what you need along with the dye, of course. I also use white vinegar. If you have hard water use water softener which is available in the laundry section of your grocery store. I buy from Dharma Trading Company undyed silk fabric, undyed silk ribbon, and dyes This is a preview to my next post which will follow soon. |
