I spent some of the morning dyeing this silk velvet.
I still haven't left any of my Arashi Shibori crinkled because curiosity has me peeking between the folds!

Your shibori is beautiful.
Say hello to Lesley Turner for me.
We have never met, but we are friends.
Lucky girl...I'd be there with Lesley turner too if I could.
Thank you, Judy - I believe you and Lesley are in the same textile degree program?
Penny, well that would be fun to have you in the class!
