Shibori Using Rubber Bands and Clamps

Chiffon & Haboti Silk Experiments in Microwave

This experiment was created in order for me to see the results of Chiffon compared to Haboti silk.
It is my first time coloring Chiffon and was pleased to see the delicate effects shibori had on it.
The objects used were very small shells, pebbles and mung beans tied with rubber bands.
