It's scarf mania in my studio! I recently went on a dying spree and have scarves coming out my ears!
Infinity scarves, head scarves, neck scarves, even hankies, oh my.....
All of them are dyed using a Japanese dying technique called shibori, in which there are an infinite number of ways one can bind, stitch, fold, twist, or compress cloth in the process of dying. As each method results in very different patterns, I choose a specific method, whether it be using the Arashi (pole wrapping) techniqe versus using the Itajime (shape-resist) technique, in order to to achieve semi-specific results. As I use several different colors, and sometimes put my fabric through two or more dye processes, I tend to have more unpredictable outcomes which I love.
Currently, I am taking individual pictures of these beauties and when I am done, you will find them available for purchase here in my shop.
