Beth El Piecework & Vivid Colors

Follow my process re-posts of the Beth El Synagogue Torah Mantels.

Many hours spent cutting and piecing 1/2" to 1" strips from clothing donated by congregation. Also mixing prints with solid silk shantung that was purchased for the project. Some how I will mix these sheets of striped fabric with the kippot.

I am pleased with the vivid colors so far. The kippahs are so bright. My goal is to bring out as much contrast and vividness as possible by by juxtaposing high contrast clashing colors. As the designs for the mantels develop I will ground the colors with neutrals, black, white, creams, navy and deep plum.
