MICROSCOPIC SURPRISES

 
One of my granddaughters is studying geology at Cardiff university and when she showed me some photos she had taken of rock samples seen through a microscope I was amazed at the colours and designs.  I persuaded her to email them to me so I could make some drawings and consequently a piece of textile art.
 
 
This is the first in a series mounted on a scrap from my grandmother's velvet shawl which must be at least 100 years old.
