Shibori Natural Dyed Silk Potpourri Bags

Project Dates: April, 2022

Quick little project that spans six years.  I can't believe it's been six years since Dave and I travelled to Milwaukee, WI to attend 2016 HGA Convergence.  These bags were made from the naturally silk Shibori scarves I made during a seminar.  They were dyed with Cochineal, Indigo, and something for the yellow/gold, which is escaping me at the moment.

 

The bags were filled with natural moth repellant that included sage, lavender, cedar, peppermint, and clove, and tied with navy and burgundy cotton ribbons purchased from Etsy.

Great use of that dyed scarf fabric!


  



  As part of our experience we went to the Milwaukee Art Museum which is an incredible building.  The wings actually open and close daily to manage the sun.  Vey cool!
