Ok.....just when I think life is running smoothly....it goes off the rails! Then I have the sinking feeling that "WAIT! What if these ARE the rails!!" Scary thought.
Anyway, off the rails or on, life went wildly whirling yesterday and have caused a delay in the arrival of this week's mystery technique.
So, to make it short and sweet...
Here it is

This turned out to be one of my favorite methods to make "water" fabric! Can you see it?

I think it was done with strips of masking tape placed on the fabric (or possibly onto the silk screen) and over 'painted' with thickened blue dye.
ReplyDeleteShibori
ReplyDeletePreviously dyed fabric was wrapped around a pole, large can, etc, scrunched and tied. Paint/dye was applied to the ridges.
ReplyDeletepole or similar wrapping, pushed down and then ever so gently the high points are coloured using a foam brush or foam wedge.

ReplyDeleteShibori
ReplyDeletebest regards of Swizerland
Scrunched in a tray , then the ridges painted with dye
ReplyDeletepaint or dye soaked fabric, gently soft pleated and left to dry on flat surface
ReplyDeleteOh, oh, oh.....I know this one! Shibori - wrapped blue cloth around a PVC pipe using string, scrunch it up, and use a discharge medium to take out the color! I took this class at QuiltCon!
ReplyDeleteShibori dyeing on already dyed fabric
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking it might be the shibori technique on coloured fabric but using a fabric marker instead of paint, as the lines seem a little too crisp for paint, unless it was very thick.
ReplyDeletewrapped on pole or can with ridges lightly dyed.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely arashi shibori; fabric put onto a pole, tied with string (sometimes) and then scrunched up.
ReplyDeleteArashi shibori withdye or paint
ReplyDeleteIt looks like arashi shibori on a pretinted fabric. I've gotten similar results by twisting the fabring lengthwise on itself, knotted it, then applied the dye with a brush.
ReplyDeleteWell,I have a different idea. I think it was stitched with a twin needle and then color was applied to the raised edges you get with a twin needle.

It looks like shibori on a previously dyed fabric.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wrapped shibori style on large round object, scrunched, and lightly painted.'
ReplyDeleteOk I wrote a comment previously from my iPhone but it didn't post. I'll have to see what needs to be adjusted!
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime!! Thanks for all the wonderful guesses!! I'll be here on Monday to share the technique and announce the winner!!
Hope all of you are having a very creative weekend. It feels like spring here. Relatively warm here on the tundra. Almost 50F!!
Arashi.
