The French Muse: Shibori

 

 

Ruth says if I call shibori, "tied dyed" one more time she is going to dye me blue. Ruth is already a blue Smurf, so I guess I will be joining her.

The French Muse had a shibori lesson that Ruth led.

Ruth's garden was transformed into a Shibori studio, we had a blast and did not spill dye on us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh Ruth I couldn't help myself, look what I found,

 

 

"The common English translation of the Japanese word shibori is "tie-dye". However, a more accurate translation is "shaped-resist dyeing," which describes the inherent patterning." …via rugrabbit.

  1. My favourite colour..indigo. Is it heresy to dye vintage linen napkins indigo? That’s what I’m going to do with some I found at a flea market.
