Enjoying the fabric
Today I enjoyed running my fingers through my fabric stash and pulling out every black and white print that I could find. For this first experiment, I wanted to try eliminating color and just enjoy the variety of prints and the perceived shades of gray that they create. I started cutting some of the pieces.…
