Dots in the Wind
New hand-dyed scarves on Etsy -- the first one (photographed on a windy day, hence the title "Dots in the Wind") was dipped in the indigo vat, then discharged using shibori techniques (see the shadowy spheres?), then overdyed a deep plum color, again using shibori. The second scarf was dipped in indigo, then hand-painted with a variety of pinks (believe it or not), to produce blue, green, and purple stripes in varying hues and widths.
