Wild Silk Cocoons

silkgrid

The wild silk cocoons of Madagascar and the wild silk cocoons of India.  Both in the center of a grid with Ametrine.  The cocoons represent the wild harvesting of silk without killing the silk worm.  Granted the silk pupae might be eaten as protein in  protein starved areas in Madagascar,  The smaller Cricula cocoon comes from India.  Aurora Silks in Portland has peace silk and natural dyes.  All of this is the start of a new silk thread.
