the stages:
pomegranate layer
onion skins
ai
the finale:
colors changed with the different manipulations, after all it took over 6 months to complete, with the dyes resting in order to develop.the ai layer didn't work as i wanted therefore i overdyed with mx dyes. purists abstain from looking :)
still not sure whether to iron it flat or leave the textures.What do you think?i'll be adding it tomorrow to the shop along with a better color rendition photo because there's a bit more yellow than what came out.
neki desu
i hope it isn't a million dollars! wow.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful...6 months in the making. It pays to be patient.
ReplyDeletelovely. use what works. i think, going out on a limb, that ironed would be nice in order to see all the nuances. my 2cents.
ReplyDeleteExcellent!! Looks and feels like Indian Bandini(tie and dye) :)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love it! I vote for keeping the textures. Makes the process visibel.
ReplyDeleteOh that is so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI can't decide if I would want it ironed or not....
That is beautiful! I have signed up for a shibori workshop this weekend so hopefully, I can better understand the process and the different types of manipulations!
ReplyDeleteTo my mind, the crinkles are inherent in shibori, so I vote to leave them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece, Neki!
