I love the color differences in the crevices shown in the close-up of the sleeve. Is the color really tonal like that or is it a trick of the light? or is the fabric sheer, thus causing the color difference by the way the light shows through? way cool!MarcyFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00419632861085433701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-60335999821660807622013-01-14T12:54:36.589-08:002013-01-14T12:54:36.589-08:00Love your skirt AND the porcupine jacket.

And the fabulous porcupine jacket is made with a shibori technique but instead of dyeing after tying, the fabric is heat set for permanent shape. So cool.
