It is quite ingenious the way you make patterns. It seems like an expanded approach from shibori in that the process is based on the dimensional transformation and mastering of dye permeation. But, it's much simpler and is amazingly effective! I have two of your books which I admire for the clear organization of material. --Yoshiko I.

Clear and informative, this video is a great addition to any library. ---Elin Noble, New Bedford, MAI brought Ann s DVD home and spent several very happy hours watching and learning.

I threw out my other fabric dyeing books. The printed book goes nicely with her DVD. Best video I've seen in a long time on fabric dyeing. Review: Best video of dyeing cotton I have seen - I love this video! The explanations are clear, and there are lots of samples of the work she's done. All the colors and techniques are on full display; then you get to see the dryed & ironed cloth for a view of the fiished colors. Anybody who has been turned off of dyeing because of the water waste will love this technique.
