| Tentatively titled: Point / Counterpoint |
Continuing with my new, minimalist series in hand-dyed linen, this piece features couched yarn and decorative stitching. A variegated thread enlivens the central, yellow shape.
I have tried to consider small, medium and large shapes when making the composition. Other areas of contrast are value (light/dark), colour saturation (bold/faded) and colour temperature (warm/cool). Lines include curved and straight, and the textures include regular spaced lines and more organic ripples of line. Three detail photos are included below:

I like these very much! And...am now inspired to dye up some of the linen scraps I've got -- left over from embroidery projects eons ago. I'm thinking about patchwork with linen...
Thank you, Margaret! The linen has a bit of a sheen to it, not unlike silk. It makes the cotton look a bit flat, or matte.
