These furoshiki have been fixed using a liquid sodium silicate solution. This solution is painted directly on to the front of the furoshiki which is then rolled up in plastic for 2 hours before being washed thoroughly in water to remove the nori and any excess dye.
I find this part of the process to be one of the most exciting as well as the most harrowing. There is nothing more you can do at this point in time except to wait for the design to be revealed...
