    It may have given you "fits", but the effort was sure worth it. Your thread painting is wonderful, like a colorized sketch. Love it.

    So much to take in on this beauty. I am completely intrigued by the use of silk cocoons. Where do you find such a thing? And I am assuming the worms are gone! Love all the thread play you did on this and the fabric painting is divine.

    I found the cocoons at the Woodstock, Ontario Fleece festival where they feature all sorts of knitting, spinning and weaving yarns. I know I've seen them on the Dharma product list but they're usually un-dyed.
