Hand-dyed fabrics and Shibori

One of my online postcards groups is having a swap using shibori dyed fabrics.  One of the members thought that meant ribbon.  The shibori I have always done was to take a piece of fabric that I have already dyed but that I am not thrilled with - maybe it's an off color, maybe it's dull but in some way I feel the need to change the fabric. I wrap the fabric around different sized poles depending on the look I am after and place it in a bucket of dye.  Here are some of my results.

Very nice idea, i would love to try this, any possibility you could let us know how you wrap the poles.
