「満ち欠け暖簾-芥子色-」

[mydonkeyfeet]

I’m so proud of myself! I sort of taught myself katazome, a traditional Japanese dyeing technique that uses stencils and resist paste. I hand cut a stencil of the word “Indigo” from RM’s (Namjoon’s) album. Then I made starch paste (something I do for work all the time) and spread it onto the fabric through the stencil. After it was dry, I put the pieces in the indigo dye vat. I was a little worried because it all looked so evenly dyed, but I reminded myself that the paste itself was taking in dye too. I scraped off the paste, and the resist had worked! I’m sure it would have been better with a teacher and with the proper materials instead of improvising literally everything, but I’m so proud that I was able to do a thing with guesswork. I feel as amazed at myself as Kim Seokjin looking at himself in a mirror.

"My first love as a child and later as a professional marine biologist was always tide pools, still is. I could probably name every organism depicted here. The stones are typical of Puget Sound beaches, carried by glaciers from far away places. The stencils I used for this katazome quilt were among the first I cut when I began this art 24 years ago."
