Research in Progress Two yellow cotton lengths tied and dyed red (with direct application of light blue for green) to create an all-over pattern of yellow and green dots on a deep red background with embroidered borders: two narrow geometric floral-like bands support more naturalistic blossoms embellished with mirrors. Vivid multi-colored silk used for embroidery. The two embroidered pieces have been sewn together.
