Shibori on my own

After attending the Shibori Workshop in February, I decided to give it a go on my own. I purchased all my dyeing equipment from www.dharmatrading.com and I bought some muslin from Jo-Ann’s.

   

I started with folded Shibori:

The first one is fold like a fan. I pressed each fold to keep it neat. Next, I folded it into triangles, pressing as I go. I then secured the folded fabric with a triangle shaped piece of plastic and a clamp I purchased from home depot.

I did a direct dye application and used 3 different colors.

Here is how this turned out.

That was so fun and I think it turned out really cool.

The next one I did was  folded into a fan again but this time I folded it into squares and then secured it with popsicle sticks and a clamp. Here what that looked like.

I love it!
