Further research- Fabric manipulations, Shibori

Continuing my research today i began looking at fabric manipulation techniques that i could incorporate or try through sampling for my final piece. one such technique i came across that gave and interesting 3D effect was the Shibori technique using chiffon fabric which was ideal as i intended to use chiffon in my designs.
Above is a sample of shibori using Organza and marbles to create the effect.
Shibori is Japanese technique and term for dying cloth, similar to Tye-dye, using various methods of stitching or twisting or dying to produce the effect. however it can also give texture to a fabric by placing solid objects into the fabrics whilst being steamed causing the fabric to shrink and hold the shape of the object.
This technique was the sort i had in mind for fabric manipulations for this project and to help me expand and experiment with new techniques and ideas. so will sample this idea later in the designing stages in various ways.
 below are a few images of other ways of tying the shibori to create other effects in the fabrics. a few of these i will try later as they could give an interesting textural element to the design.
