A LITTLE SHIBORI IN YOUR LIFE...

makes me a happy camper.
Demonstrated a bit of Pole Wrapping Shibori to my students
over top an eco-dyed silk scarf.


The result was pretty darn cool,
and made the eco-dyed scarf so much more interesting.


Now I'm really a happy girl!!!  :)

Pole Wrapped Shibori - Team Josh Berger and I

Once again, I wasn't pleased with my first attempt at this technique, so I gave the scarf to my T.A. Josh Berger, and asked him to give it a try right over top of my design.  The result of the two was spectacular, and our indigo bucket was spot on, look at those value ranges!
Thanks again goes to Shibori Girl Glennis Dolce for coming and giving my students an all day workshop.  See Shibori Workshop for that very special day. 

We used a PVC pipe to wrap our silk scarfs around, then wrapped strong cotton twine to hold it to the pole.  Then the scarf was scrunched up as tightly as possible and dipped into the indigo bucket.
