Silkworm
This fiber art depicts part of the silk making process. The caterpillar eats the leaves of the white mulberry plant for about six weeks, and then spins a cocoon around himself that is one long continuous silk thread up to 600 meters in length. This art includes silk fabric, cotton fabric, tulle, skeleton leaves and green tea-dyed silk cocoons. It is machine quilted and professionally framed for a finished size of 15 1/4″ square.
