Shibori

Shibori is a technique that was used in Kapan to dye silk. Various types of resists are used. The fabric can be twisted, folded, clamped, wrapped around poles, and tied. To do this piece I traced the design on the fabric (it is the Triforce from the Legend of Zelda games) and I used thread and stitched around it. I then pulled on the ends of the thread tight so the fabric was scrintched (I just made that word up) and is tight enough that the dye won't get in. I then tied string on little chunks of fabric to create the circles. You then dye it and untie it. I used forest green to match the colors of the video games.
