I started a small piece a while back using fabric I had printed in a workshop. I named it Cherry Winks. I made a screen of my grandmother's recipe for Cherry Winks (cookies) which I used on the fabric. The piece was almost finished but needed something else, so it stayed on my design wall for a while, getting my attention every time I entered the room. Well, Cherry Winks is a round cookie so I thought maybe some round shapes would work. This is the original piece before the circles.
I found my package of "Perfect Circles" - circle templates designed by Karen Kay Buckley
and they do make perfect circles. I also found some silk organza I had dyed and the color was perfect. It is transparent so the background showed through. Using an opaque fabric would add another strong design element to the surface and it was busy enough.
I have MY grandmother's cherry winks recipe. I wonder if they are the same?
