Class Activity - Cooking String!

This class activity focused on the start of generating ideas to re-brand string in a fun and very hands on way. Down below are images that showcase the  process of idea generation and prototype of the ‘cooking string’ - a string that brings people closer together.

The Final Prototype:

The cushion cover I died with indigo the other day is now in the living room of my Craft House. :) 先日藍染（ケバブ染めメソッド）をしたクッションカバーが、しおさい庵のリビングに仲間入りしました。💗

To be perfectly honest, this is not really my “favorite” pattern. It was more about satisfying my curiosity, and now I’m satisfied. Next time I’ll try a new, totally different pattern. And I’ll definitely try a combination of persimmon and indigo dye.

実を言うと、コレは決して私の「好み」の柄とは言えないんですが。でもあの巻き付けて縛る方法でどういう模様になるか、好奇心がメインの染めだったんで。これで十分好奇心は満足。 次はまた、全然違った柄に染めます。 そして、柿渋染めと藍染のコラボもゼッタイ試したい。

BTW, the cooking strings I used to tie the cushion cover look nice, too. Mmmm... I could make something with them... ところで、クッションカバーを染める時に縛ってたタコ糸が、けっこういい感じに染まってるし。 これで何か作ろうかな...。
