:: Shibori...LOVE

 It was a great day to create some shibori printed fabric and see it gently flap in the wind, truly is the best looking washing line I have seen in a while.
Don't you think?



Once home, I washed and pressed my samples, again who thought ironing could be so pleasurable?
and created my shibori wall to show you my day's efforts!

The disc pattern is created with a circle wood block pressed onto the fabric with a small g clamp...easy!

Wooden cloths pegs for the squares and string, make these patterns!

A square wood block!
String and the fold of the fabric created the wheat effect!

I fitted in a spot of thrifting in brunswick! Nioce Bitossi!
Yes it was easy to do and yes I will be making up a dye vat soon and will dye the house shibori!

If there's a class near you, then GO!!!!!

:: Shop- sneak peek #4





Taco's anyone? 
I feel this hanger has a distinct Nth America vibe going on?
I'm a lover of the work of Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keeffe
So I think it has come through the knotting.

 Here begins the Art lesson!
Hello... Frida!
