White on White Challenge

Also as part of the Dirty Dozen, we have a challenge each year which must be completed if you wish to take part in the yearly exhibit.  This year the challenge is White on White.  I started with white Dupioni silk onto which I used irridescent white Paintstick to add texture.  The two end pieces and the middle strip are crinkle cloth.
In the detail of the piece you can see that I added tiny beads, some couched metallic cord and free motion machine quilting.  The resultant piece has more of a beige look rather than pure white, so I have titled it "Not Quite White", but I really like the look of the piece.  I enjoyed doing this challenge and may attempt another piece in all white.
