Tapa Cloth Art

                                                                   

Reflection
I was leaning about the significance of tapa cloth. I made my tapa cloth a repeated pattern around the outside and a shell design in the middle. I used a third black vivid, a third brown dye and a third paper and then scrunched it up to give it a natural look. I found it tricky to make the tapa cloth patterns. Next I want to improve on my patterns.
