Shibori Dyed Yoga Mat & Yoga Class Craft Party!

We had our first ever craft party & yoga class collaboration today!  Margaret Hluch taught us the technique of shibori to create a patern on a yoga mat bag.  It entailed stitching using various methods to create a resist.

 As the bags were soaking in the dye bath, Ananda Shala's Dominica Knapp led us in a 45 minute outdoor yoga class!  She spoke about creativity as fuel for our body.  It was a wonderful way to tie it all together!

The bags needed to be untied and then we saw our beautiful results!

Silkscreen Tote Make & Take

Yesterday we had our Mimosa Make & Take, Silkscreened Tote!

Margaret Hluch taught this fun & easy class!  After showing us the basic techniques we picked out and drew (or traced!) our designs...

 

 

 We applied a resist so that the paint would only come through on the design that we chose.  This required some patience but the results were well worth it! 

Now it was time to silkscreen!  We picked our colors and some of us picked many colors! 

 

Here are our results!  All ready to take to the market or library!
