After finishing today’s pieces, I truly get the title of Jan’s class — Depth of Field Shibori. This piece probably is the best example.
Here is a detail:
This piece was shibori wrapped and dyed and then underpainted with a gradation of dyes and then shibori wrapped and dyed in a dark dye. Oh, I love this.
Here is more of the work.
This piece was first shibori wrapped and then dyed in bright orange. Today, I rewrapped it and dyed it in violet – yowza!!
Here is the chopstick piece from yesterday. Today, I wrapped it with chopsticks again and dyed it in chartreuse.
The next piece was the one I laid on top of an underdyed fabric while it was still wet and then I smooshed it. Today, I did the rope trick with it. Love it.
Here is a detail.
I just had to show Sheila and her mammogram quilt. She used CD clamps for this. Someone said it looked like a mammogram for a dog – LOL.
Here is the very talented and lovely Constance Rose, working away, rinsing dyed pieces.
I have more luscious work to show, but it will have to wait for tomorrow. I have to post my window quilt on the 12 X 12 site. Be sure to take a look through our windows.
Jan is such an incredible teacher and sharer of her techniques. You certainly had wonderful success with your own fabrics. I’ve used some of my class samples in a piece that’s in the SDA members show at the Off the Grid conference this year: “Thanks, Jan.” I hope she is there, you too, and gets to see it. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to go – maybe one year.
Thanks for sharing your work.
Wow, simply gorgeous work!
These pieces are very elegant! I love the gracefulness of the shibori patterning.
Yummy indeed. And you’ll have no problem cutting into any of them, I’m sure.
Oh wow!!!! I am so excited about your class!!! Your pieces are truly incredibly beautiful!

Gorgeous pieces! I want to do this too!
Beautiful pieces of art.
Wowza…these are too awesome, Gerrie!
Welcome to my humble little city of Eugene, OR. If I were not visiting Kristin in Hawaii, I would have paid you a visit. Your shibori work is gorgeous.
Yummy! Makes me really eager to get back to Nova Scotia and get into the dye studio!!

these are just amazing, Gerrie! What a wonderful collection of fabrics you are creating! After this class you will completely understand shibori dyeing and can then teach me!
Hi Gerrie, The pictures of the dyed fabrics are so inspriational, I just want to get up and get going now. The one in the fourth or fifth photo immediately made me think about the sun shining on the water. I would love to hear from you, if you could give me you #1 piece of advise for someone, dying to dye.

Spectacular fabrics…ALL of them! I’m so impressed!
My goodness Gerrie – it’s all so luscious! Can’t wait to see what you make with all this treasure.
WOW!! It’s amazing what a second and/or third layer of dye does! Gorgeous!
