I suppose I was continuing with this idea...when I asked myself ...and what if the cutout was a dot and what if the collage was just a machine free pieced striped base? I sewed the stripes crazy style, every which way, and prepared the dot mask by tracing the bottom of a glass on a cotton linen solid and shading with a crayon for the shading. I cut out the centers (which I saved of course) and ironed the crayon in and washed and ironed again. Now what if I stitch the layers together ?
