From the Indigo Vat
Here are the pieces I dyed at Fenland Textile Studio yesterday. As well as trying lace, thread and the buttons and shells in the synthetic indigo vat I wanted to do a selection of shibori patterns. Some were more successful than others, I have rather more white in some than I hoped and rather less in others, but I was generally pleased. It was interesting to learn what my fellow students thought of each piece too, our tastes and opinions varied considerably, it's such a personal thing isn't it and the excitement of unfolding a piece and of watching the indigo develop is magic every time. Enjoy my indigo exhibition:

ReplyDeleteHey Lis, these are fantastic! I love the lighter shade of indigo. They will go perfectly with your darker ones from Japan - it look like a fun WS - hugs Nat
