Some time ago I decided with a friend to take the City and Guilds course.
We made our first tests of dye. The photograph shows the buckets with the fabrics in the dye bath, placed on black plastic bags, which were used to protect the floor.
I took the photo with my phone to keep a souvenir of the day.
However, when printing the photo, I discovered that the buckets rounded shapes onto the geometric folds of plastic and the shading colors of fabrics formed a harmonious and aesthetic group.

Watching the photo, I thought that the composition could be transformed into a modern panel.
The folds of the plastic on which the buckets are placed have naturally geometrical shapes: horizontal stripes, with diagonals due to the glare of the light. By representing these strips by light colors, the light is increased and is used to structure the background.
The round shapes are raised above and unify the first and second level.

The overall shape of an elongated rectangle put the quilt away from traditional shapes.
The initial idea being buckets of dye, it made sense to work with fabrics dyed at home. Given the difficulty in getting a "real" black, background fabric was purchased, as the fabric back. All other fabrics were dyed by hand.
