Into the LIght

Once you start using cloth you've dyed, discharged, printed, etc yourself it's feels odd to use commercial designer fabrics. With that in mind I do have to say that I like the funky, folk art feel of this piece. The blue beads on the bottom are these hand thrown clay beads that look like a child made them (and possibly did!). These beads are another treasure found in my recent yard sale score on a whole box of beads.

Well, I'm starting to sound like a broken record, so instead of saying "I love this piece!" I will say this:

I love the sense of movement and traveling in this piece. I like the way the circles draw my eye around and how the beads at the bottom ground me in the piece. Beautiful.

Well, I don't mind being a broken record...this is absolutely beautiful. The beads are perfect.
