Orizomegami

Orizomegami is the Japanese art of decorating papers by a method of folding and dipping them into dye. It is almost a mix of Origami (the paper folding part) and tie dying. Below is a diagram from a book I photocopied about 10 years ago (have no idea what the book was anymore sorry) and a couple of photos of my dyeing work that I used as samples with my students. 


Now we have finished dyeing our papers we are using them to make covers for accordion bound books.
