Design Source - Description |
Beginning life as a test for an improvised technique of neo-reverse appliquiltliqué to let the light shine through a single layer of glowing china silk, ‘Phalaenopsis On The Cellular Level’ evolved into a stylized plant cell. It is but a single cell in a multitude that makes up an elegant, silken blossom. Can you identify the chloroplasts, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and golgi bodies?
