Shibori

I once infamously declared that I would never do shibori (or more particularly, stitched shibori) again. I should not have been so emphatic. These days shibori, and the art of folding and manipulating fabric to create pattern, is an integral part of my creative repertoire. I embrace its inherent serendipitous qualities.
