warm tone Shibori Panel on Silk - By Soren
My Family was excited to break out the supplies when I went to Florida last week for vacation. I wanted to show them the Itajime folding/resist technique and they were excited about trying it out. With my family being all truly talented and skilled artists, i dont often get to show them somthing new, so this was very fun for me!
We mixed about 8 colors of procion dyes (from Dharma Trading) and I realized while watching my Mom blend the colors that I have been mixing my dyes way to pale. It is amazing what the difference between a teaspoon and a tablespoon of dye powder can do! We mostly worked with silk panels and the out comes are wonderful, we were all so excited to open them up 12 hours after dying, I swear I have never seen my little brother & sister get up so early in the morning, you would have thought it was Christmas morning!
Here are the results, we were very happy with them,
please tell us what you think!! enjoy!
