My Coastal Guardian.
It's kind of hard to tell what's going on here, as there are so many layers. Photo's just don't do it justice.
All the layers are hand dyed silk, and then are over-dyed using the pole wrapping Shibori technique.
There are shells and other bits for details. I'll upload a some detail shots soon.

thank you! it seems to be the popular one ^^

It's a Japanese resist dyeing technique, much like tie-dyeing, just without the 80's T-shirt look :)
My Shibori is pretty amature compared to what can be done with it. And I can't really explain in very well, but if you google image it you will find some awesome stuff!

Yay!!! you have no idea how happy that make me!!!!! That's exactly the look I was going for. I wanted it to look like it was just part of her, and not just somthing she is wearing.

I'm so glad! I normally suck with colours and finding out what colours look good together. But for this one I looked at the colours found in sea-weed and kelp and all the flostam and jestam that gets washed up by the tide.
I'm glad it worked ^_^

Well all of them are lovely, but this one is very nice. I love the colors, it reminds me of corals and algues.

Well I did my graduation dress last friday, I had to start that day and os finish the same day XD I'll add it here when I take some pictures. Hope to get better when I start fashion school.
