When choosing fabrics for the new series, Traces, I kept the colorway limited. I want these pieces to read as individual elements but also work together as a whole.

I began my selection process by bringing a bunch of fabrics to the studio from home where I store them. I keep them sorted by technique but this time I sorted them by color. I decided to work with greens and browns (big surprise) and laid all the fabrics that I like out on my work table. From there I played with the colors, using the negative shape frames from my patterns as a way to isolate the fabrics and look at them together.

Here are some photos of the selection process.
