Good Evening,
Here is today's new piece and I am in love!  I began with a piece of red cotton that I had discharged with large circles printed with a  garbage piece of plastic that was inserted in a large glass container that I had bought and small circles printed from a toilet paper tube.  I layered it on top of yellow orange silk gauze which was on top of an orange/red orange piece of silk noil which was on top of a piece of dark red violet cotton which was on top of a piece of yellow dye painted batting.  Whew....
I stitched right on top of the small circles and just inside the inner line and outer line of the large circles using a pale yellow thread.  I did not stitch anywhere else.
Then I started cutting away layers of fabric to reveal the layers beneath and viola! Woe that I do not have more time!  I really want to make this piece big.  I love the depth, the color, the circles.  I love it all, but what I love most was the absolute simplicity of the process.  Sometimes the easiest things produce amazing results.
Till tomorrow,
Heather
