Shibori Design Pashmina Shawl 1

 I love creating these designs. I never know exactly what I’ll discover when I unwrap the scarf!  They are dipped in an indigo dye vat which results in the many different shades of blue.
The designs are created using many different items such as rubber bands, twine, clothespins, clamps and rocks!  The results are always so interesting, organic and unexpected.The generous size lends itself to many combinations and creative ways to wear the scarf! They are so perfect with just jeans as well as with a white dress/top.

 Shibori is the Japanese word for a variety of ways of embellishing textiles by shaping cloth and securing it before dyeing.

The word comes from the verb root shiboru, “to wring, squeeze, press.”
