Art work: Mimi Spirits by Thompson Nganjmirra - Mimi spirits are nonphysical beings who have been present and active since Creation and are attributed to the Kunwinjku people, of Kakadu. This blog has been developed to display my work for the City and Guild Level III Certificate in Embroidery with Sian Martin of Distant Stitch and other interesting photos of Australia and inspirations from my travels around the world.
Silk habutae and twill were dyed with Indigo dye in the Shibori technique using clamping, sewing and tying as resists. One piece tied small sections of fabric over buttons of different sizes (No 3). This resulted in some interesting efffects where the image of the button was transferred to the surface of the silk.
