Worked entirely by hand across its full surface, rows of kantha running stitch bind two layers together in the ancient tradition of the craft - each line placed by a single artisan, each pass of thread unrepeatable. The front is a single length of upcycled underprint cotton, its surface a deeply painterly landscape of moody emerald and forest green - swirling dark teal-blue, dusty blue-grey, olive and flashes of coral-red and golden-ochre drift across the cloth like a Monet garden seen through rain. A lighter teal-blue and white border zone runs across the upper edge, carrying vine and floral motifs in soft blue and green - the ghost of the original woodblock print beneath. The bright moss kantha blanket stitch at the border is the maker's mark, vivid and deliberate. No two readings of this surface are the same. It is entirely one of a kind.
The reverse is Moss - a warm, vibrant green - in a 45% cotton / 55% linen blend, its smooth face a quiet counterpoint to the layered depth of the front. The kantha stitch reads clearly on both sides, a mark of the hand that made it.
