Which One Do I Choose George?

I adore the work of Muriel at Clothogancho, who paints with her naturally dyed yarns.  
Recently I have been in contact with her to purchase one of these amazing works of art.  


The colorways in both are so different yet so appealing, such a tough decision.  I've been debating for over 3 months now but I've finally made a decision.  Which piece would you have picked??
Let me know, then I'll tell you which one I bought.
Just wish I could afford both.

  5. The bottom colors suit me more, but the first one looks like a Gustav Klimt painting. Both are wonderful. Thank you for showing them to us.

  6. Thank you for stopping by Christina, sorry it's taken me so very long to reply. And I agree, it does remind one of a Klimt painting. I wonder if Sophie was inspired by Gustav as she chose her colors?

  7. I have never come across this person's work before and it is quite magnificent. I would have gone for the first one, purely as the colours were so skillfully blended together. I dread to think what the cost was, but it certainly is an 'heirloom'!

    1. Hi Sally, I don't mind telling you it cost $800 which I thought was a reasonable price for all that work and weaving in all those ends. She also dyes all her yarns. She really is a master of color and combinations.
