Okay, after looking at those pictures, I think I know more of what you're talking about! I think some methods of shibori are done with a needle and thread. You have to stitch and pull the fabric in some way and then dye it...I saw a woman who made beautiful silk scarves this way at the Madison (WI) art fair on the (capitol) sqaure a couple summers ago. I don't remember if there's a particular stitch that you use.
Sharon Block has a really COOL site! I'll be adding
her to my Textile Artists' page (soon -- grin):

Her work is not nearly as intricate as Pam's Haori.
Pam =- if you see this - Could I share you photo of
your Haori with the list? only for a day or two.
Just (reply to Jdecker@woh.rr.com) If I DO NOT hear
from you I will assume you prefer I not share it.
Well - that is about all I intend to do for Shirbori
-there is a LOT out there. Happy surfing. I will
probably add the Shibori Network site to my textiles
page, too (soon).
