Indigo dyeing and Shibori

This week I showed my friends Brigitte and Lucienne the Shibori technique. We did some pole wrapping, bind and clamp and some stitch and tied resist.
Especially the last technique is really time consuming, so we did this on tuesday afternoon and the dyeing two days later.
I forgot to take pictures of the process , i only have pictures of the results.

Brigiite's work

Lucienne's work

The magic of the fabric coming out of the vat in green and becoming blue by oxygen is so inspiring.

They were both so enthusiastic, we surely will dye more.......

I also made some samplers.

Lucienne sent me picture she made in the evening.
