The entire center design is composed of a single unbroken line. The finished piece was achieved by silk screening, gilding in aluminum leaf and printing a transparent blue glaze over the leaf. The design is composed of a single motif (unit), joined, repeated and drafted to conform it to a circle. I also made 3 variations (not shown) as rectangular designs that highlite the versatility of the original unit.

Hi Mickey, your work is great – love how it glows! Can you tell me what you printed the image on to? Is it fabric?
Just saw your response…my bad. I screen print primarily on watercolor paper, although I have done reverse printing on glass. If you’re ever interessted in the process, let me know and I share the process.
