Shibori Class

Clean sink, no really it's clean!

Turquoise soak



First layer complete

First sample complete
I am participating in an online shibori class offered by Shibori Girl Studios.  I haven't posted much of my dye samples on this blog.  I dabble in procion mx, assorted acid dyes and natural dyes.  The class uses Colorhue Dyes.  These are called instant set and boy are they easy, peasy!  I ordered a kit for the class that had an assortment of silks and a basic set of Colorhue dyes.  If anyone knows the secret behind the curtain, I would love to know what type of dyes they really are.  They exhaust like acid dyes, and don't strike as fast as procion mx.   I am enjoying plodding along at my turtle pace working on suggested samples.
