I am trying to create some fabrics with star burst motifs for a assessment item i am in in process of making. The green ones were just an expirement in color. I haven't found the right shade of blue yet, but i can keep trying. I used unwaxed dental floss to do the tying and gathering. It makes me think of my father making a fishing lure for carp using unwaxed dental floss! We never ate the fish- too bony but my dad said their teeth go all caught up in the floss and it was much better than a hook!

These are so delicious but I find them so hard to use - do you?
At present, I mostly use small pieces of lots of different pieces of fabric in my work. I am looking for texture and color that works with other pieces to work out my design. I have just started playing around with Shibori and will take a class with Jan Newbery at the Crow Barn the end of October to push myself a bit. I was sorry to miss your class at your studio this month. Maybe next time.
