sometimes it’s very hard to be patient. but usually worth the wait.
the last two lessons have been all about stitched shibori. we are learning a lot.
patience is a big lesson.

How beautiful.
That is beautiful!
Stunning stitched and bound indigo resist
gorgeous. thank you.
my brain never put stitching and dye-ing together.
i am beginning to see the light. this is stunning!!!
So your hand stitching was pulled tightly and then it was dyed?
yes! stitching is more enjoyable than gathering. at least for me. the gathering can be frustrating.
This took my breath away! Thank you for inspiring me!
Oh my gosh, that is fabulous!
Hi
The dyed shibor fabric is stricking.
wondering how you think it was done…
thanks all. enjoyed this little makiage study.
OH!!! it brings to mind being in the deep ocean, looking up & seeing the light shimmering on the surface…so beautiful.
Wow, that looks amazing!
amazing- I like the singled out dark squares…Is this the piece you showed us in progress awhile ago that everyone wanted to see the finished results? So did you tie off the squares and dye light blue, then do the thread resist on each “pouch” of fabric from each square and then redye in dark?
yes, it’s the same piece. and you figured it out! so think about only gathering up some parts or binding up some, dyeing once, binding or releasing some, then dyeing again. it’s endless…
so stunning – looks like a living organism – with all the complexity that implies
simply exotic and earthly, a step ahead in the art of shibori
agree gathering can be frustrating!
Took my breath away!
