Shibori!

I've been playing with silk and dyes for the past few days. Inspired by Jen Beauchamp's wonderful tutorial on shibori  (http://tomoebookarts.blogspot.com), I have been reliving my textile and fiber arts days at Scripps with the wonderful Neda Al-Hilali. She was such a great teacher and her work so strong.  The following is my 2nd try:

I started this process to make book cloth  but I don't think I can bear to cut this up -- I wore it today as a shawl/scarf! But I need to figure out how to incorporate shibori into the exhibition. I'm really loving the process...
