​Looking Closer

Colossal Fossil is a further piece in my series exploring ice-dyed cotton.  The Pimatex cotton was pre-soaked in soda ash solution and manipulated to create a swirl and the design came out beautifully.  I have a small collection of ammonites collected during the renovation work to our farmhouse in France.
