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!
