September is just around the corner, and we couldn't be more excited to reveal a glimpse into our upcoming craft kit project. This month, we're diving into the mesmerising world of Shibori dyeing and getting creative with iron-on vinyl, blending traditional Japanese artistry with modern design elements inspired by Memphis geometric shapes.
What is Shibori Dyeing?
Shibori dyeing is a traditional Japanese technique that involves folding, twisting, and binding fabric before dyeing it. The result is a beautiful array of patterns, each one unique and organic, creating an intricate, one-of-a-kind masterpiece. This ancient art form will bring an element of surprise and delight as you unfold your dyed fabric to reveal its distinct patterns.
Inspiration from Memphis Geometric Shapes
Taking cues from the vibrant and eclectic Memphis design movement, this project will feature bold geometric shapes. Think bright, striking yellows and fresh oranges paired with playful patterns that scream creativity and joy. The Memphis Group, founded in the early 1980s, was known for its colourful, abstract, and whimsical designs that defied traditional aesthetics. This inspiration will help infuse your Shibori creations with a modern twist, making them not only stunning but also contemporary.
Get Crafty with Iron-On Vinyl
Once your Shibori fabric is ready, we'll be adding another layer of creativity with iron-on vinyl. This material is perfect for adding crisp, precise shapes and designs to your fabric. Whether you want to incorporate more geometric shapes, add a monogram, or create your own custom design, the iron-on vinyl will let you personalise your project to your heart's content.
What's the Big Reveal?
The end result? You'll create something unique, stunning, and with a practical use! This project is designed to be functional as well as beautiful, ensuring that your handiwork can be enjoyed in everyday life. The combination of Shibori dyeing, Memphis-inspired design, and iron-on vinyl will result in a vibrant, eye-catching piece that stands out.
