TT853.7.B75 2002Description
"In Shibori: Creating Color and Texture on Silk, artist Karren K. Brito demonstrates her rendition of American shibori, sharing her authoritative knowledge of silk, dyes, dyeing, and discharge and revealing how to formulate colors, create a variety of resists, and set texture. Brito's sumptuous work shimmers with iridescent color and eye-catching pleating, which she creates by combining pole-wrapping and other types of resists with discharge and overdyeing. This beautifully designed and illustrated book provides a thorough understanding of each step in the shibori process and the information needed to execute original designs." -- BOOK JACKETAcquisition
