Let me show you my November new Shibori work. Last month I talked with Kimono fabric dyer on Shibori muffler. At the end,he offered me to make bigger thing. This time I made a Shibori shawl 74cmx163cm with a design of bamboo and sparrow. Frankly speaking,I am not satisfied with this. I think there are too many blank spaces. Shibori site (http://www.shibori-kaikan.com/). 先月、着物の染色屋さんと絞り作品のことを話したところ、大きなものを作ったほうが良いといわれました。今回は大きなショールを作りました。竹に寒雀。もう少し模様を詰めて作ったらもっと良くなりそう。
It is beautiful, you are too critical of your own work!. Do you use silk and dye with indigo? The sparrow is very precious.
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me, I bought a book on shibori by Yoshiko Imamoto Wada and shall try an experiment.
Gods, the sparrow is cute!
ReplyDeleteI agree with origa-me, you're too critical with your own work.
Dye Indigo? (Aizome,isn't it?)
ReplyDeleteThis is very difficult.
Organic authentic indigo dye needs a factory space. The chemical mixed indigo dye is very popular. I can do anytime.
Too critical with my own work?
I think this is Japanese culture.
Japan is a shameness culture country.
Thank you for the reply, I will try chemical dye.
ReplyDeleteI think western society may be the opposite and it is good to be humble!
