Patchwork ABC's

What fun I have had making three silks of this flavor.  My goal was to use wacky calligraphy, to make each square speak for itself, and still have a coordinated, fluid piece of art.  I also used a limited palette, thus making it cohesive, yet interesting.  I also used gold resist which makes the letters stand out all the more.  A recipient of one of these Patchwork silks says the gold is especially delightful at night when a small light is nearby.  Of course, it looks beautiful in the day light as only a colorful silk can do.  This silk is 35"X35" and is for sale.  Sold!
