Shibori is the Japanese art of dyeing cloth. There are many different ways and techniques shibori is used. To sum it up, its rad! Last semester we did a shibori demo, the piece I did had this cool wood grain effect to it. My friend earlier today recommended that I get the book Shibori: The Art of Japanese Dyeing. I've seen it before in one of my textile classes, just looked it up on Amazon. I just might get it!
