Sari Silk Fragments - Part 2

I had great fun making the sari silk pieces then wondered what to do with them.  My original idea was to create a textile book but this was rejected - each piece measured about 7" x 5" and if I had mounted it onto a backing it would have become too big.  I also thought of making a wall hanging but the weights of the backing silks differ and could distort so that idea was also rejected.  The pieces are rather fragile with wispy bits of silk and I wanted to keep them safe.  I painted pages in an A4 spiral sketchbook then hand stitched each silk piece onto its own page. 

The pieces will be a reference for future work as I'm thinking of creating some abstract silk wall hangings.  Watch this space!
