Woodgrain and mountain path on silk viscose and linen.

Fabrics compared, linen and silk viscose satin. I like how differently the dye spreads on the cloth depending on the fibre it is made from.

The previous post is before and after photos. These ones are front and back.

Since breaking up for the holidays I've been trying out a few basic shibori techniques on linen and silk viscose satin. I used my indigo vat to dye them and I love the way it dyes. Most dying processes seem a little magic to me, but I've not used indigo before, and it has a special quality that I'd not realised previously.
