fabulous fifty

This is what I have been working on...a wall hanging to celebrate my 50th birthday. The background is overdyed sari silk that I have woven and then stitched.  The pictures are ones that I converted from slides and I have printed them on silk.  The knitting was done with silk yarn.  I loved doing the extra stitching over the top, and the small amount of stamping I included.  This took 20 weeks to make, from start to finish.
