Shibori morning glory

Shibori news again. Last week eend I dyed a morning glory side. Her requested colour was sherbet orange. I mixed dye staffs that beige 1: orange 0.5. The fabric's dyed gentle orange. I needed a little more soft orange. Shibori work and dying work are totally different skill.

Purple Tombo

I have been making a summer Shibori Obi for my friend Shino who lives in Toyko. It will be a reversible Obi again. One side is the dragonfly. Another side is the morning glory. Last week I finished Shibori works both side up. Then I dyed a dragonfly side. However it became big trouble. Her requested colour was wisteria. I failed making up dye staffs. The fabric's dyed purple.I need to talk to her.
