Tie-dye Tablecloth, 'Water Fall'
This tablecloth supports the design of lines in the middle through snow flake shape patterns, as if a waterfall running down on an icy mountain. This handmade tie-dye table cloth is made by the Bai ethnic artist living in Yunnan, China. The artist uses several methods to create complex patterns on the cloth by binding, stitching, folding, twisting, or compressing it before it was dyed. This method is also known as shibori in Japanese.

About the artist, Duan Shukun
“Tie-dye is a part of life here. Girls had to learn tie-dye as an important marital skill. Nowadays young people care less about tie-dye. Big factories are built, making tie-dye with machines. But I am not giving up, I want to keep doing what I do; I want more people to see the beautiful designs we have. I also try to add modern elements to the tie-dye designs.”

Customers’ comments on Tie-dye Tablecloth, 'Water Fall':
The shibori technique is absolutely beautiful--much more intricate and elegant than "regular" tie-dye. Would love to see shibori material as clothes--blouses or skirts... - Camila
