If it stands still …….

….Indigo it!

Last Saturday at NSCC learning more shibori from Karen Davis and  Pepa Martin. Once again, I had the best time. 


Some Arashi

New scarf

Yesterday, I used the dye again, here at home and changed the life of some pieces from the stash.

Quick upload to show how I did some and the results.

Many thanks Karen

and Pepa  @ http://www.shibori.com.au


On velour, a piece which I thought were all natural fibre but the back came out better than the tufted/cut top.



Velour and lots of pegs above

Pebbles and rubber bands below








Fuji San and friends!


Silk between coasters secured with clamps and rubber bands.
Going 'against the personal grain' as I ironed the pleats in!

 Undoing …...






More fun with the silk from the partly pleated, 'formal' bodice. Lower mid pleated swatch is the original hot pink colour.



There is still some pink to go!
