A couple of weeks ago, my friend Susan taught a wonderful Shibori dyeing class at the Pink House. Those beautiful dots up above were made by folding the cotton into nine squares then places three acrylic disks on top, bottom, and inside. Then the fabric-acrylic sandwich was placed between two pieces of thin wood, clamped, and dropped into bucket of blue fiber reactive dye.
