Description

Discover the fun of shibori and the beauty of indigo dyeing in one book!

This book presents a new spin on the beloved Japanese art of Shibori resist tie-dying using 100% natural indigo dyes and simple techniques that you can do at home.

Add artistic touches to everything you own--from a favorite linen shirt to a bamboo basket, a pair of old sneakers or pair of jeans. Clear instructions and photos explain how to do it. Tips on creating fantastic patterns and effects using easy folding and resist techniques will inspire you to dye lots of different items--from clothes to accessories and home goods.

In addition to creating beautiful tie-dye patterns you'll learn how to:
  • Prep the fabrics, mix the dyes, build the colors and preserve them
  • Work with cotton, linen, wool and other materials and fabrics
  • Create different effects using wax, stitching, tying and other resist techniques
  • Create unique patterns by sponging, dripping, rolling and silk screening

Add artistic touches to your favorite T-shirts, tote bags and curtains--even to wood and paper. With so many useful and creative techniques and ways to use them, Japan Blue Indigo Dyeing Techniques is a book you'll refer to again and again as you experiment with refashioning fabrics and more.

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.
