Floral Natural Indigo Shibori Dupatta with Kantha

To make a shaped-resist pattern, part of a fabric has to be bound, clamped, folded, pleated, stitched, twisted, or wrapped before dyeing; the dye penetrates the non-resisted areas only. After dyeing, and once the fabric is released from its bindings, a positive and negative design shows. This piece has been finished with Kantha hand embroidery and inspired by the flora and fauna around us
