Shibori

Jul 04, 2010 1 Replies

A friend and I tried some shibori yesterday, using bleach to discharge the dye in the fabric. We had lots of fun trying different ways to tie the fabric and seeing how the bleach changed the color of the fabric. I had mostly black fabric, which turned a lovely brown when bleached. General description of shibori at It was a hot day, but we we worked on her deck, which was shady and getting a nice breeze. We didn't want to work with the chlorine bleach inside.

Our art teacher had her students to this last year. Absolutely stunning results. Some of the students went on to study and try out other asian influences on their art the rest of the year. Our secretary does a lot of dying of her own fabric as well so I have lots of inspiration around me at work too. Glad you had fun.
