This quilt was created by digitally printing an open spread page of my sketchbook. The original image was a gouache and Indian ink painting with stamped motifs using gold metallic acrylic paint. I carved the motif from a symbol I discovered on a vase at my local museum. I was intrigued by the shape of the symbol and I’m told it means longevity however, I used it as decorative pattern and wasn’t concerned that in printing I reversed the image!
