Lenten purple and Frank Lloyd Wright

This is a liturgical stole I made recently for a United Church of Canada minister for use during Lent and Advent. It's based on a picture of a Frank Lloyd Wright stained glass window, or light screen. I've used hand-dyed fabrics, one commercial fabric, and a purple silk and velveteen to make the six stripes. Later, I saw the same design adapted to a wall hanging called Architect's Dream on Carol's Feb. 8 blog entry.
This is the back of it, using a wild batik I bought last summer on the Minnesota shop hop. I had some fun with it, putting in his titles: Reverend Doctor.


This is another purple liturgical stole, made with hand-dyed scraps from another project, which is why it is string-pieced extensively:

great stoles -- I particularly like the string pieced one -- it makes me think of tall apartment blocks (with black windows) built on a firm foundation... :-)
