A lot of years ago, I saw this picture in a book that I had and was just fascinated by it. It is a bit of an optical illusion. Several summers ago, I decided to make a wallhanging like it. This piece was designed by Ann M. Adams, from San Antonio, Texas, according to the article in the book.
I purchased some fabrics and added some that I had and set about making the piece. Done in fusible applique and machine buttonhole stitched, it wasn't really hard to do.
I actually wish I had used other colors, although these go very nicely together. There would be so many color combinations that would be gorgeous.
It is actually, as I said, rather an optical illusion - sometimes looking as if the light were on top of the dark, instead of vice versa.
It is a good sized hanging and would be great on a high wall in an entryway. Or, as in the picture at the beginning, over a fireplace.
Thought you might enjoy looking at the piece - I had almost forgotten about it.
