Living beauty, living indigo

ようこそ！Welcome to Oriba Shibori!

A note: I'll be a vendor at the Carolina Fiber Fest (in Raleigh) this weekend (sharing a booth with Japanese Temari), taking many of the pieces in this shop...this might be a good time to purchase 'that special something' you were contemplating...or you may want to place a special order.

The items shown here come from personal explorations in shibori, a Japanese textile resist technique. I enjoy working in different colors, but indigo is not just a favorite, but a focus.

Each piece is unique. Therefore, pricing is 'unique' as each piece is approached as one would a sketch or painting. There's usually some "exploration" involved. It could be imagery, color, composition, an aspect of the dye, technique, or with the fabric. Sometimes it's a slow process and sometimes, not so much. It all depends and I try to bear that in mind.

Currently available are: Silk & Cotton Scarves
Furoshiki - Japanese wrapping cloths and
Kinchaku - cotton, drawstring bags
