Thank you for your video. This is amazing to watch. I am glad these techniques are still being practiced. I have been playing around with Shibori paper techniques and came across this video in a Google search.
to make a color barrier on katazome cloth other than glutinous rice flour and rice bran, what are the ingredients?...thanks for the explanation....greetings from Indonesia
hi, amazing work and creativity, what paint are you adding for the black color? are you first using mordant for the whole fabrik? look stick very well to the fabric.
@@slowstitchstudio2773 Hi. Thank you for the information. I've not heard of that material before. Can you also tell me the name of the paste you use to apply the stencil outline, much appreciated.
@@allisonjoel1 Sure, the name of the paste is "katazome paste" and you can find a recipe for it online if you search for Tien Chiu's blog. For the stencil sheet you can search on amazon for "Mylar blank stencil making sheet" and you'll find quite a few suppliers there. Hope that helps! :)
Hi Roslinda, yes! Almost every plant can be used for color, but only a few plants can give yellows, reds and blue. Also, while many plants give colors most will fade after some sunlight exposure. The key is experimentation and using more light-fast traditional dyes such as indigo, madder, cutch, etc.

Hi. Nice video. Can you explain the ingredients you have used for the stencil. Regards.
Hi Allison, do you mean the stencil material? We cut it from a thin sheet of mylar plastic.
