"Red Squared"
	Introducing Stephanie Novatski. Her piece above, "Red Squared" won a design contest at the *Caron Collection website. "With a skill akin to a magician's sleight of hand, Stephanie created a work that emanates a sense of illusion and mystique. Measuring only 6½" x 6½" her composition projects incredible dimension and motion, the various stitches and geometric forms playing off each other. Like a multi-faceted gem, each jewel like layer appears to be superimposed upon another. It is stunning in it's connotation of depth combined with fluidity. The puzzle like quality engages you, each interlocking piece moving seamlesslly into the next and each component integral to the design as a whole. The pattern is composed of different sized squares layered concentrically and diagonally, each square individually defined with black border stitching, which Stephanie chose because of its dramatic contrast to the bright overdyed threads that make up the main design features. This piece is a counted thread design and reflects Stephanie's love of mathematics."
