Circles and Squares - Silk Painting and Stitch

Using circles in squares - I painted this design on silk using a gutta outline, silk paints and salt crystals. I lightly quilted it by machine with a zig-zag stitch in metallic threads. I manipulated the green chiffon ribbon and stitched it down and added some fly stitches - a favourite in this project!
