Fine Fiber Art: Nuno Felt & Shibori

Shibori (絞り染め Shiborizome^?) is a Japanese term for several methods of dyeing cloth with a pattern by binding, stitching, folding, twisting, compressing it, or capping. Some of these methods are known in the West as tie-dye. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibori)

I use Shibori technique to create unique surface on nuno felt garments and accessories. It takes a long time and patience to achieve beautiful and unforgettable effect.
