Week 4 Area Enclosing

This week we will show you some examples of Area Enclosing stitched resist Shibori.



A little experiment, with a stencil I drew shapes into a figure:


The one on the left was made by whip stitches over a group of pleats of each shape. The one on the right was made by tacking stitches.





Dying:


That is an interesting outcome!




Let's see what others discovered in this range!

    Hi. I love the one with the whip stitching and pleats. For the one on the right, did you just outline the shapes? I want sure what you meant by tacking.

    Wow! So interesting. I would love to see more details. I'm still not sure how you did it exactly. My favorite is the one on the left.
