Do you know, I hadn't really thought of that. I pulled out several fabrics in that colour and this was the one I felt most drawn to, though I did vaguely think about how it would look with diagonal lines of beading. I think the fabric design is meant to be sea urchins.
As for the almost-technological, I'm still in love with black/grey/white/clear beads from the January piece, and I don't have all that huge a stash of green beads so they ended up coming along too. I'm really enjoying working with a limited colour palette, though now I'm struggling to express why that is. Part of it is reducing it to something manageable, allowing me to explore happily within a relatively narrow focus. Part of it is something soothing about simplicity.
