Caftan and Coat
More experiments. Will I ever get there? The
pole wrapped shibori dyed charmeuse in shades of purple and yellow (which became green when I added the black) started out as a 60" square which I then cut on the bias to create this caftan. I read somewhere that working on the bias is like working with live fabric. No kidding. Every time I moved it the shape changed. The velvet coat was made from three yards of
shibori dyed yardage dyed in shades of yellow (which became copper, rust and olive when I added black.) I love color theory! The experiment here was whether or not to dye one long piece or three smaller pieces precut to fit the back and sides. Just like writing. Constant rewrites says mentor
