what an interesting approach. I love the symmetry of the piece.
ReplyDeleteLOvely...my mother loved this game. I gave her set to a cousin who wanted to learn.
ReplyDeleteOften wish I'd kept it for making art.
Your "set" is terrific.
Mom would have liked it too.
Great idea -- and I love the red background. Very striking. Isn't it interesting how we all hear music in so many different ways?
