Shibori and other goodies at TAC

More Textile Arts Center projects! I can spend entire days in this place. I have made it a personal mission to make time to just play. Get my hands dirty with no specific project in mind. This is something we stop doing as adults even though its where the most fun and best ideas can happen.  This time around it was all about experimenting with Shibori and awesome dyeing techniques. This was so much fun, I tried ice dyeing and other cool stuff.

Katazome @ TAC

I've been spending some time at the Textile Arts Center this summer and I can say it's been the best use of my weekends. It's my time to just play. This project was experimenting with Katazome Resist Dyeing ( really cool Japanese technique). Of course, my sketch was of bold spring birds which would pop against the indigo dye. It went from sketch - to stencil- to applying resist paste - to indigo dye. Super happy with the result!
