oh, wow!
June 28, 2013
this is why sampling is worth the time and effort
and why photographing the process, in all the stages, can be helpful
the weaving as it came off the loom
different weft colours – from the left – blue, pale yellow, red and dark and light green
two are woven shibori and the other two were folded and block resisted
the two end pieces were discharged in a thiourea dioxide bath
the two center pieces were discharged in a black vat dye
it is difficult to believe they are all the same warp
in some cases the colours and yarns react to the thiourea dioxide in extremely different ways
the winner
and now to weave the final 2 yards
