Brazilwood

The dye pot.


I dyed two meters of silk gauze using a shibori technique. The fabric was folded and marbles were tied into the layers.



The thin silk gauze turned a warm and complex shade of pink in less than an hour. The shibori is reminiscent of repeating patterns of the earth and biology, groups of organic circles. They remind me of deer spots. I am going to try to turn this into the best summer dress ever, check back for more photos and my technical notes from this dye session.
