More Itajime and Over-dyeing


I started with an arashi piece made some time ago that needed a little something more.



I folded it, clamped it and applied black dye, made up of two blacks, Better Black and Jet Black (from Dharma Trading Co.) I used 3 tablespoons of each, some salt and 1 cup of urea. 
It batched for about 24 hours.


The black came out very intense and black, while the wooden discs resisted the dye
 giving the piece some nice contrast.
