The two shades of green in the background are hand-dyed fabrics which I cut into strips and wove together. The technique is to cut one of the fabrics into vertical strips and the other fabric into horizonal strips. I used silk flowers, bumblebees, and frogs for embellishments. This technique of weaving fabric strips was also used in "Purple Flowers" (2003), and for the cothing in "Picasso's Harlequin" (2000).
