Machine aided bound-resist in scattered blocks pattern

Technique: Kikai-kumo Shibori -Machine-aided kumo shibori, where a point in a piece of cloth is caught on a hook that retracts into an apparatus where threads automatically wind around the gathered tip. The artisan operator must have a steady hand and a feel for the tension and time it takes to complete a desired amount of binding. The shaped cloth is held firmly while thread is bound from the base of the unit, where the folds are held gathered together, to the top near the hook. The spacing of the thread is even. A machine was invented in 1900s in Arimatsu to repeatedly perform this technique in which the thread is neither knotted nor cut but is carried to the next unit, mimicking the te-kumo shibori done by hand with a hook. Process illustrations are from the book “Shibori: The Inventive Art of Japanese Shaped Resist Dyeing”  by Wada, Rice, and Barton. (c)1983. The pattern is called Ishidatami, meaning stone pavement.

Spelling Errors
Format: Paperback
This would have been a great book; however, it literally had spelling errors including one on the back cover. Disappointing. It was a gift for someone but it’s not even worth returning.

Learning Fun with "See, Touch, Feel: 123"
Format: Board book
"See, Touch, Feel: 123" is a fantastic addition to our bookshelf! My baby loves the interactive touch-and-feel features, which make learning numbers so much fun. At 10 months old, my baby enjoys flipping through the pages and feeling the different textures, all while being introduced to counting in a playful way. This book has been a great way to engage my child while encouraging early learning. I recommend it to all mamas with little ones eager to discover the world around them!
