Forest Shadows brings together deep forest greens, black, and slate grey in a richly layered design. Green-dyed longleaf pine needles are coiled with black and slate grey waxed linen thread and accented with black Picasso beads. The outer coil is worked as a continuous, uninterrupted coil, a distinctive and demanding technique called an infinity coil. At the center, a pale tree agate cabochon reveals delicate green patterns reminiscent of branches and leaves. Forest Shadows may speak especially to those who find a sense of peace and renewal in the forest and the natural world.
