Cheater Shibori

Thanks to Ben for the fun and informative workshop on *cheater* shibori. He calls it *cheater* because it can be accomplished in much less time than traditional shibori. The results are always interesting, often beautiful, and rarely predictable.

I call this *fun* shibori.

Here are my little treasures drying out in the laundry room. How are yours coming along?


Also here is one of my show 'n' tell pieces. I apologize for not taking pictures of other members' pieces. If you are a member and have a piece to post here, please let me know. I'll be glad to add it to the next post. Also if you are a member and would like to become an author on our blog, please contact me about that too. Martha dot Myers at Gmail dot Com.

    I am sorry I missed the meeting. Looks like I would call it "fun" shibori too! Can't wait to see what everyone has done.

    I really enjoyed doing the presentation Tuesday night. There was more than I could do but the time was short. I wanted to do a little pole wrapping on a smaller scale.
    Today my Bee group went to the Bulloch Hall Quilt Show. The work by Karen Tunnell has me itching to try marbling some fabric. I did a search on the internet and found a great tutorial at Dharma http://www.dharmatrading.com/techniques/marbling-instructions.html
    Does any of that look familiar? Most of the paint is what we used Tuesday night. All I need is some size, like carageen or methocel. Methocel is what I used with my students when we marblized paper.
    Don't be surprised if you see some marbling at our next meeting
