Fabrics from day 4.
These are on Dharma's cotton print cloth

I folded this one, just to see what would happen.

UV, Raspberry, teal and yellow in each corner.
I don't care for all the white on this piece, but the color parts are pretty interesting.
I see female and male reproductive parts all over this one.
