black bean silk shirt shibori

the resulting colour is a pale blue-green colour; I had tied the black beans on the inside (my mistake), meaning the most definition is on the inside as well, so I am going to have to cut the shirt and sew the loose bits onto the linen shirt, as I want to make a reversible quilted jacket; I am not sure what kind of seams I am going to use

the shirt was mordanted in soymilk and was dry before tie-ing the beans

the first soak in black bean dye black beans soaked in water for twelve hours

after a twelve hour soak, I added the water I used for cooking the blackbeans and brought the whole mixture plus shirt almost to boiling point, turned off the gas and let it cool down; after rinsing and washing with water and soap the colour went from purple to blue-green.
