arashi shibori or serti with gutta, so many techniques, so little time

i want to try everything! seems like the possibilities are endless. really liking the shibori, but still drawn to using gutta to contain the colors. would love to be able to do this all the time … but the other life stuff gets in the way. the turtles are gone already. probably do a series of under water paintings.

i’ve been playing with my serger and re-covered a nice little ottoman. pretty labor intensive, think i’ll stick to silk.
