Shibori experiment

Do you like it?  It is my latest experiment with shibori.  The material was a white on white design of little white dots.  I folded and stitched rows of half circles then pulled the thread tight before dyeing.  Between the stitching and the dots, there are two types of resist going into the dye.   This is actually the back. The front has stark white dots and the circles get lost. But I think the back is yummy!
