Indigo Shibori Dyeing this past week

This is what I did on Wednesday and Saturday.  Resists are created by stitching, folding and pleating, binding/wrapping with thread, etc. on plain white muslin fabric before dipping it into the indigo vat.

Way too much fun!  

Now that I know how to do this I can't wait to set up my own dye vat at home!!!

Over two days I made about 20 different pieces!!!

my latest venture--bookboard cards/display pieces for St. Patrick's Day etc.

I've been working on some new projects recently using bookboard as the backing for some double-sided cards that are also display pieces.  I'm going to sell these with small easels and also a large magnet which can be added to the back.

First are these smaller bees and butterfly cards and one with some "instant relatives".

These are the larger ones I made for St. Patrick's Day.

Will pick up easels in the next day or so and will shop these around to consign or sell outright to one of the local shops.  Have already started thinking about Easter/spring ones and gathering materials. I really love them and almost hate to sell them.
