THREE STUDIES: ITAJIME SHIBORI ON LINEN

Since I decided to make scarves again (last ones I made were long ago...) I have been testing several kinds of fabric trying to find the ones that I like the most in terms of beauty, touch, and drape.
My studio partner  kindly offered me some pieces of linen to try. I cut them in square shapes so if the tests turned out nice she could use them for cushion covers. This are the three results, which I was quite happy with. I started with an orange color, which I overlaid with raspberry followed by brown. The fabrics have been also folded and clamped twice. 
Linen scarves will definitely be part of the new collection!
