Shibori Kimono
Shibori is a type of resist dyeing in which certain areas on the cloth are protected from dyeing by binding dots, stiching, or clamping and squeezing the cloth between boards. Shibori creates a wonderful raised and wrinkled surface texture on the finished work.The most well-known example is the polka dot pattern called kanoko shibori. Kanoko literally means `fawnspots" because the finished shibori looks like the spots on a fawn's back. |
