48" square
Curved pieces are seamed together by hand using Aurifil 50wt cotton Mako thread and a Jean Lyle #10A applique needle .
Hand dyed silk fabric is furrowed by stitching down glass beads using a Jean Lyle straw needle, and embroidery floss using a Bohin crewel needle.
Beads and floss are stitched into the purple Mandelbrot Lake to represent haze.
The piece is quilted entirely by hand using YLI quilting cotton and a Jean Lyle #11Q quilting needle.
