Arashi Shibori, Morning Glories and Fiery Sunsets

 My Morning Glories are just beautiful this year. They are always such a surprise. Between all the gophers, draught, horrible air quality due to the raging fires in our area, they are a real delight right now.



Here's a new arashi shibori piece I did this week.  I used two different blacks to try to get a true black. In this photo, it looks pretty black, but in person, it has more of a very dark blue tint to it. I'm thinking of adding more pattern to it with some discharge dyeing.


The many fires burning in all directions from our home, created this incredible sunset Sunday night.
Praying for all the firefighters and people whose homes have been lost in these horrible fires.

  1. Beautiful photos, love the fabric! So sorry the fires have come back again... we've been pretty lucky here (knock wood!) this year, but have just now started to get monsoon rains, so everything is dry and ready to ignite. Stay safe, and keep posting about your lovely shibori!

  2. Thank you Judy for checking out my blog and commenting! Today was the first day in awhile where the air quality was rated 'Moderate' and safer to go outside. It was great to see the blue sky again. The whole west is just so dry and ready to ignite, as you said. Hope you and your family are able to stay safe.
