outcome

final stage in shibori.

development: second stage.bonus  my beloved japanese brushes in the photo.

the one in the foreground qualifies as an antique, bought on my first trip to japan. expensive,but with proper care they last a lifetime .

 

 

the shikon dyed a much darker value than expected, almost brown  see first photo 

\  (  ツ )  /

shikon is extremely sensitive to heat and ph. even with distilled water there are surprises.

getting the hang of the dye.
