Though it takes on a slightly different look on each color, it gives unity and dimension to the whole piece.<br /><br />This really shows how to showcase neutrals! The layers behind the black & white are all strong and hold their own, but they are working together to support the focal point and it's smaller counterpoint.<br /><br />It's also surprising to me how much impact that smaller counter point has. Relative to the piece, it's pretty small, but it really packs a lot of punch too, and draws my eye around and over.<br /><br />This has wonderful texture, both visual and tactile. The quilting adds texture to the yellow, red orange, and even the white, and accentuates the texture in the green. I love the frayed edges you get from that green fabric!<br /><br />The variations of color in the yellow, red orange, and green add depth and interest, and the flowers and bone beads really pop off of those black & white squares.<br /><br />I love that this seems simple and geometric at first glance, but as soon as you see it closer, there is so much detail. Then you see that all the detail plays like an orchestra- each beautiful on it's own, but perfectly blending with all of the other parts to form the symphony.mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556867473316439509noreply@blogger.com
