More Ace

Laura Perin is tempting us with a glimpse of her new piece, "Ace of Diamonds," which is a diamond filled geometric in icy blues and purples. It's lovely but I can't help thinking what a magnificent set of playing card backs this might make.

By the way, don't forget Laura's older designs.  As she demonstrates here, they are timeless and also fun color exercises.

UPDATE:  Ace is revealed!  Here's what Scarlet Thread says about the design.

You can buy the chart directly from her website if your shop doesn't have it in stock yet.
