Shibori Dyeing

The Shibori Dyeing artist I found was Michael Smith. Michael makes a profit of his ability to dye Shibori styles on cotton and silk. He lives and works in North Carolina and he has been making "wearable fiber art" for 25 years. He does a type of Shabori Dyeing called non-traditional Shibori. His style  clothing style is more of a gallery design not a retail design, because the patters and the styles of the clothes are really busy so its more like art and less like clothes. I really liked this artist, because they are one of the only people using a non-traditional style Shibori dyeing technique today and how he finds a way to pu beautiful art patterns on somthing other than a canvise.  


 These are some pictures of his art. they show the specific patterns of some and how other are supposed to look as clothes. I love how the light and dark colors contrast with each other. I also love how the patterns are so complex and if you cut them in half ether vertical or horizontal ways each side is symmetrical to the other. the cloth is so colorful an busy but at the same time very elegant and dressy.
