My fascination with dyeing silk, bamboo and pineapple fiber, using the traditional japanese form, Shibori, began many years ago. To create different effects, I use a combination of working with the fabric, such as pleating, folding, wrapping, twisting, and/or stitching it. Then the material is put into a variety of dye baths. What one is left with, is a gorgeous piece of material where there is the element that has been very calculated, and then there is that of utter surprise. Tap here to view.
