I think the fa...This IS such a beautiful palette. <br /><br />I think the fabric choices here make for some great eye tricks.<br /><br />The dark brown is physically sitting on top of the dyed background- but between it's rich, deep color and small, stipple quilting it is receding and forming this recess which seems to make the turquoise paisley just float on the surface.<br /><br />The light colors in the background are helping make this dimensional feel happen; they are giving that background an ethereal- not flat- feel, and so the paisley and the small lace pieces aren't just laying there, but instead are hovering near the top of the piece.<br /><br />The grounding piece of turquoise hankie is beautifully quilted and it's undulating movement really adds a gentle flow as it moves the eye around the detail of it.<br /><br />I especially love the twist in the middle of the paisley! When I look at it, it is just a line- but it adds a LOT of impact.<br /><br />Such great texture, both visual and tactile in this, lots of light, and so much variety, even with a limited color way. Interesting how a piece with so much going on can feel so soothing.mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556867473316439509noreply@blogger.com
