My Mom went to Morocco and brought back fabulous threads. I also had a piece of coral-colored wool from a trip to Santa Fe that I'd been waiting to use.
So, here's my latest project. It's just designs on wool. When I'm done with the pattern, I might overlay a design on top. Maybe leaves or something. We'll see how it looks as things move along.
I don't know what I'll do with the other threads from Morocco. They are like silk, but my mom doesn't think they are. They are wrapped around bamboo sticks and they are shiny. They fray.
