Description

Fifteen composite canvas patterns with an important message -- open, open. open! This new series exemplifies the importance of color use and open canvas. Canvas color comes first, then the varied thread colors and finally interesting patterns that have an open concept that let the first two choices show off. You can't stop looking at this can you?!! Texture is the next addition by the use of thirteen over-dyed silks, impressions, varied metallics, silks, perlee, ribbons, and numerous beads chosen in gentle colors from families of shell, pear, wisteria, parchment and siate. The final touch is the delicate oriental garden that resides inside the pagoda. These patterns are surrounded by golden care. It's math -- it's geometry but most of all it's fun! The further class bonus will be discussion about the history and meaning of RED.
