Unfolding Delights

Little parcels of folded and dyed teabag papers waiting to be released from their bonds
To reveal their colourful secrets
Juicy Oranges cool blues
and radiant reds.
The magic of shibori.

Dyed and ready for action

The great push begins soon for Art and Garden 2008, and the Platform Gallery Open Textile exhibition
So fabrics are bound and dyed and effects marvelled at.
This was the result of one syringe full of Kemtex dark brown, followed by a syringe full of plain water on silk velvet.

footnote: The Mistress of Longears made a comment on flickr that this looks like a Chrysalis and a butterfly.

I wish I'd thought of that.
