Shibori Indigo

Shibori is the Japanese method of resist dyeing, it can be done by stitching, clamping, and
wrapping.  Indigo is a  vat dye, that comes from the Indigofera tinctoria plant. Another project
in my wood shop class, was to hand work a wedge-jointed stool from poplar wood. When it came time to decide on the finish, to me there was no other choice-this stool must be wrapped resisted
and dipped into a vat of indigo!
