On my design wall

I have been working with fabrics I rubbed in Cambodia, making a quilt for the SAQA Text Messages juried exhibition. The quilts need to be 24"wide but any length of your choosing. I will submit 2 entries for consideration by juror Lesley Riley.These were words I got from a lamp post. Apsara is the word for the Khmer traditional style of dancing, but perhaps it has another meaning?

I', also using some Riel notes- Cambodian money, in the work too.
Ginny, the fabric did change colour when I put it in the soda ash solution, but the photo doesn't refect the true colour. After it had been rinsed and washed, I ended up with a much paler, subtle colouring of mushroomy brown.
