And more textiles...

A shopping trip to the Fiber Arts Fiesta at our fairgrounds, which is sponsored by fiber arts guilds in Albuquerque, allowed me to bulk up my stash of Japanese textile fragments, from three wonderful vendors.  Getting out the new stuff lead to:

Necklace #62.  Vintage kimono silk-covered buttons and bone moon button by Bob Benson (www.bobsbuttons.com), on Japanese woven cotton bias tape.

Necklace #63.  Vintage shibori-dyed Japanese cotton covered buttons, with little kimono silk covered buttons at the ends, on Japanese woven cotton bias tape.

Textiles! Backed by "midnight blue"

Here are two covered button pieces, one from an old kimono too stained to use as a wearable and the other from fabric printed by Miriam Sklar, with accents of overdyed kimono silk.

Necklace #60  .  Vintage kimon silk on Japanese chirimen polyester bias tape.
