This summer has been SUPER busy, so I haven’t had the chance yet to upload all my work, as I wanted. I have, however, had the chance to browse Pinterest on a regular basis (my addiction is sad…), and I discovered Shibori techniques on there today. This is definitely something I want to try out and base some projects on!
Most people would probably think of this as tie-dye, but tie-dye is only one way of wrapping in the Shibori dying techniques. Shibori dying dates back to 8th century Japan and is made by binding, stitching, folding, wrapping, twisting, etc. cloth and then soaking it in dye. 
I am absolutely amazed at the patterns and techniques you can get.
And they can look pretty modern and chic, too. 🙂
I’m pretty excited! Here’s my Pinterest page for lots more pictures and some DIY instructions for you to try!
Photos and their credits are all found on my pinterest page.
