Dropping by "What Ever Was", a resale shop in Prescott I found 2 large Shibori Scarves which actually made my heart skip a beat. They immediately found their way into my shopping bag. "Oh My"!
Both Scarves are dyed using a different method as the one we used during the Kate Campbell Taylor Shibori class here at my studio.
This appears to be the hand stitching method. If you open up the designs which are not ironed flat you will see where the design areas were achieved by tying sticks or rods with thread.
Both of these scarves are 100% Silk.
The Karren K. Brito book "Shibori" shows the many colors and textures on silk. This book tells about dyeing and resists, silk a dyer's dream, understanding dyes and dyeing, the dye process, formulating dye colors, discharge, creating resists, pole wrapping, setting texture, and putting it all together.
My favorite Shibori dye method is pole wrapping. It is a fun process and it is a simple way to create your own Shibori Scarf.
Karren Brito's book is breath taking. The color photos will give you an idea of what you can do using a bit of dye and a bit of silk. This is indeed an adventure!
