I am part of a small group that meets each month to try new fiber art techniques.  We made silk screens and used them to create a piece that was 8.5 by 11 inches.  I use an old Thermofax machine to prepare my screens.  I screened circles onto a piece of my hand dyed linen.  I then used metallic thread and green thread to emphasize some of the circles.  I began with flower circles but changed them for buttons.   The various sizes and shapes of the buttons represent diversity.  They are connected by the circles.

We are all connected in some way.  I love the quote by Chief Seattle that says we are all bound together - that all things connect.

This is the beginning of "Connections".  The circles have been screened on and embroidered by hand and machine.

 I took these off and added buttons.
