The Petite Sampler is a study in traditional Japanese Patterns.  Navy blue silk is used to define each section.  The colors are dark navy, dark red, peach and gold, and reminiscent to the colors used in the ancient Imari plates so favored in Japan. 

Ancient Imari plates are treasured. Even fragments are kept, and some of the very old ones are even found in museum collections.  Their main colors are cobalt blue and rust red. The designs in these early plates were found in nature and every day life items such as fence patterns, fish scales, thatch patterns and the like.
