Following on from my little experiment with Shibori felting I thought I would share a few of the wonderful items I have found which feature this technique, both felted and otherwise.

Martha Stuart has instructions here for making this delicate scarf using small stones tied into chiffon.

Mrs Polly Rogers has instructions here for making this very chunky, felted bubble Scarf.

The World Shibori Network is a great place to visit to find out more about the techniques used in this ancient craft.  Michelle Griffiths is a professional artist/teacher, living and working in South Wales. She is the World Shibori Network representative for UK/Ireland. Her work is on permanent exhibition in her gallery/studio at Model House Craft & Design Centre, Llantrisant, where she continues to develop the shibori study centre with its shibori workshop programme, textile collection, and reference library.

 

I particularly like the ‘AntiGravity Necklaces’ and ‘Bubble Wrap Fabric’ while ‘Relief 1’ is absolutely stunning!

I also love the detail in the scarf below but unfortunately cannot remember where I found it!
