Tablecloth - Fall Leaves Kaleidoscope

The inspiration for this surface design project was the gorgeous leaves of fall in their brilliant hues of red, maroon, orange and yellow. I took dozens of photographs of assorted maple trees...





...and finally created a kaleidoscopic image in Photoshop of a worm's eye view of the maple in front of my brother's house.
The image was then burned onto photo emulsion screens in two separate layers and screen printed on Sante Fe cotton/linen fabric that I dyed with Procion MX in a very pale shade of golden yellow.

Here's the final product...its not intended for a table of this size. The measurements are 54" x 54" which is suited for a small 30" square table.
