Shibori Hana Designs

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.
