| We were given a final project for the dyeing portion of The Whole Cloth Experience, and an option of making a scarf or shawl. I enjoyed the bleaching with cotton so much, my teacher allowed me to make something a little more me... and with the materials I work with on a regular basis.... COTTON! So our project had to have 3 techniques we learned how to do in class. I bought 1.5 yards of white 100% cotton to dye, and 0.5 yards of violet 100% cotton. 1. 2 dye baths (cherry blossom and plum) 2. bleach bath (0.5 of the cherry blossom, 0.5 of the plum for the inside and pockets, and the violet 100% cotton for the outside) 3. Shibori (cherry blossom, plum and robin's egg blue) Any comments!? Lets hear them!!!  |
