Shibori is a Japanese term for several
methods of dyeing cloth with a pattern by
binding, stitching,
folding, twisting, or compressing it.
Arashi Shibori is known as pole-wrapping shibori.
The cloth is wrapped on a diagonal around a pole. Then the cloth is very tightly bound by wrapping thread up and
down the pole. Next, the cloth is scrunched on the pole. The result is a pleated cloth with a design or color
on a diagonal. The name arashi comes from the Japanese word for storm. The patterns or colors are always
on a diagonal in arashi shibori which suggest the driving rain of a heavy storm.
The arashi shibori
silk ribbon used in my Shibori Hana is hand dyed in Long Beach, California by Glennis Dolce of Shibori Girl Studios.
Glennis is a true artist in every sense and achieves a tone in the dying process that is awe inspiring and gives a sense of
wonderment.
