Kids have finger paints - fiber addicts have shibori. Traditional shibori is typically threaded - using stitches to secure folding and gathering patterns. I did not use any threading with my shibori - instead I used fan folding initially, and then segment folding. Once I had my fabric folded I tightly packed the pieces of fabric into my dying pans. And now the results!
The dentist will see you now!!! The minute I unfurled this piece all I could think of was the dentist - I think this looks just like a dental x-ray. It is a 1/2 yard cut.









These last few examples are different in that I over-dyed some past dying efforts that I wasn't particularly happy with. Here I started with a piece of pink fabric, a failed red - I have lots of it. There really are never mistakes in fabric dying - just new opportunities.
