Black Satin Bomaki

As a bomaki goes, I was REALLY pleased with these two scarves. They are both quite long, about 4 yards, which makes them really fun to wear since there are so many ways they can be wrapped around your body. The fire-like tiger stripes are very dramatic.

Canning Jar Scarves

For these I simply wadded up the silk into a tight ball and placed it into a net bag, then into a mason jar with water and dye and let it sit for an hour! It was surprising what I got when they came out. I think I like the green and purples best.

Spiderweb Shibori

This piece was predyed then overdyed after I spent a few days tyeing it up into what would become spiderweb patterns once the string was removed. It took a while but it was worth it.

Tied Shibori

For this shibori piece I tied velvet then used sublimation to get the dye onto the fabric, and an unusual pattern came about!

Silver Satin discharged bomaki. I believe I am going to like bomaki. Please let me know what you think!

I'm discharging some satins to hopefully make a quilt eventually out of them. So far I've tried many different methods of both preparing the satin and discharging the satin, hopefully I will get better in time...

Bronze Satin discharged with bleach. I believe I used the knotted method, where I tie the fabric in knots before working with it. Hope you like it.
