The last two weekends I have been busy with shibori techniques. Here is one end result example. The colours, a blue purple and a rich warm orange red are my favourites.
There are a few more pictures underneath, showing part of the process.

The scarf was folded and clamped securely between the wooden blocks. The purple outlined squares are the result of the first dyebath made with Logwood.

This is what it looked like inside.

I had fun creating this and I like the effect. I will be posting more on shibori soon.

Thank you craftygreenpoet. There are so many possibilities with this technique. I am sure I will be experimenting more with this.
