Easy home tie-dyeing with a Japanese twist! If you love the simple blue-on-white beauty of shibori and want to learn some new techniques for indigo dyeing, this is the book for you! Easy Shibori Tie Dye Designs starts with the essentials of the dye vat, takes you step-by-step through the basics, and shows you great ideas for tying and resist dyeing techniques. Old garments become unique fashion statements. Tired home goods are upcycled into one-of-a-kind design elements. This book also shows you how to get creative with different methods of creating unusual patterns--anything from a coin to a clothespin to a water bottle can be used! With this unique book you can: Use plastic balls to get snowflake-unique burst effects Make edgy geometric patterns with foam blocks Do a bit of pleating and rolling (with the help of a plastic water bottle) to create unique motifs Create polka dots--neatly patterned or artistically haphazard--using coins and clothespins Try different folding techniques for a gradient result And other methods and tricks to apply to knitted and woven shirts, bags, table linens, and more The techniques are easy enough for beginners, and the patterns will inspire more experienced dyers. Just about any fabric item in your wardrobe or linen closet be transformed or rescued with this combination of dye, a bit of practice, and imagination.
