Magical Carpet

13"x14", cloth treated with Indigo paint or treated with Indigo and rust combination, beads, hand stitching and machine free stitching.

The colors in this photo seem brighter, not as true as the actual piece which has softer tones.The design element is from a mosaic floor discovered at the ruins of Masada Israel. As I added stitches, the rectangle shape seemed to become more woven as in a carpet and so I followed the lead with this title. The imagined stark desert sunlight surrounded by an edge of Indigo sky still holds me to these pieces of cloth. I have just a small pile of this cloth left but I think enough to make one more Indigo dream.
