OK. The latest shibori experiment worked. I couldn’t find many suitable stones on very sandy Copacabana Beach so instead I raided the button jar and spent sometime yesterday afternoon tying them up in orange cloth.
After my recent shibori failures, I was concerned to ensure that the cotton ties created a proper resist. (The Laundry King was wondering where the dental floss had disappeared to!)
I wasn’t sure whether I was too heavy handed with the dye but I needn’t have worried…
Now I know it works, I may make another piece for the next Twelve by Twelve colourplay challenge. Then again, I may go off in a completely different direction.

Ooh, I love the patterns created! Will try it myself for my next batch of dyeing.

Oh! This looks great.

Love the finished result, but I also like the photo of the tied fabric–looks like mixed media sculpture <3

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
