Undyeing!

Oh, today was so fun at class! I love the little synapses going.
I love repetitive design. I cannot help it!
Our samples today make my heart go pitter patter!
These were made by Denise, Cheryl, Jean and I.
Hubby is driving home from CA and I should perhaps vacuum or wash the sheets, you know, wifey kind of things....The other side of me is so desperate to go buy bleach and make a huge mess in the kitchen (and it doesn't involve cooking)! I might have to compromise and buy bleach and do housework another day!
Sounds like a good compromise to me!

Three different discharge dyeing techniques. They are triangles (sankaku), tortoiseshell (kikko) and lattice (goshi) patterns.

Arashi Shibori

Today was the second of a four session class on dyeing shibori fabrics.
Holly Stewart http://thehollystewart.com is the teacher and boy am I loving it. Such stimulation!! Ohhh... and ahhhhhs....
I can't believe it has taken me like five years to take a class at the KC Art Institute. I should have done this a long time ago! Trying to learn things on your own really takes much more time and you miss out on the interaction, immediate question answering and meeting new people.
I am already wanting to sign up for more!
