color is from a piece of woven Japanese ikat.
Made from an antique Japanese fabric stencil - virtual Japanese stenciled indigo fabric. The indigo color is sampled from a piece of woven Japanese kasuri (ikat) fabric. Because this pattern is made from a scan of the stencil, the color is textured, not flat. I scanned it at a higher resolution, so this pattern could be larger, with each hexagon about 2 1/4 inches across, but for now I have made it smaller, closer to the size of the original stencil. If you want the matching linen teatowel calendar, at http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/805337, I can update it for you. (__I have just made it larger for a customer, July 15, 2014; reset to 268 pixels/inch after she orders.) Well this has been selling. for too long at this larger size, so I am making a separate smaller version.
