Description
A square collage of soft grays and salmon, woven in a twill weave, enhanced by a basket of soft peach roses. Papers have been chosen to coordinate with each other as well as the image of the metal basket full of coral roses. The twill weave shows two over, then descending with the next strip. This forms a very tight weave and is the basis of the weave used for twill fabrics, such as for jeans. This is a right-hand twill, that is, the two-over strips move from lower left to upper right hand corners. The grays, coral, and bits of beige and white, along with black, form the background for the basket. It would make a pretty image for a bedroom or dining room, framed in a softly toned frame.
