Shibori Dyeing - latest results in deep blue on white cotton




Here are some of the latest results in my Shibori dye experiments. All of the blue ones above came out nicely. The white bundle below was an attempt to get some circles by tying marbles into the cloth. I believe that I didn't tie them tightly enough because the dye bled through all the fabric. I'm learning.

Shibori dyeing with organic results

The white bundles in the photo became the colored pieces you see below. Since starting my "dye phase", I came across this website: TOBASIGN which has some good photos on how to sew and dye in the SHIBORI method. The how to photos were captioned in Japanese, so it's a good thing I'm a visual learner! The larger blue piece looks like a fossil to me and I like the organic look of the results.
