thank you all for visiting and your comments. cristina--there are different names for each type of stitching (makiage, urinui, etc.)i'm not real good at remembering the names. here is a link with lots of information about shibori, if you're interested. they even recommend books and refer you to some tutorials. http://www.pburch.net/drupal/?q=node/595
Gorgeous Deanna, this is one of my favourite shibori techniques. So easy, but a wonderful, intricate result. Love the colour from the onion skins in your last post!
