After gathering up all the threads, I painted the top with watered down acrylics. Traditionally, shibori is dyed, but I used paints since I didn't care about keeping a soft hand to the fabric. Here is Part One of this project.
Sewing all the threads took a couple of hours:
I used a mixture of Phthalo Green and Phthalo Turquoise tube acrylics, watered down a lot. Golden's is my favorite brand:
After the piece dried overnight, I removed all the threads:
All the remained was to paint in the sky. The next steps will be to create some appliqued spruce trees:
Creating the background fabric: Part one, Part two
Creating the quilt: Part three, Part four, Part five, Part six
