Monochomatic Texture

Monochomatic Texture is a small experiment in creating texture by using a combination of hand stitches and beading. My pallet is a mixture of browns and off whites. This would be a somewhat bland composition, without the added interest of yarns, ribbons, laces and beads. There is a balance to this composition by using a variety of darks, mediums and lights. This collage could be considered a type of crazy quilting, but the real objective was to create an interesting texture, using a limited pallet.
