Estuary High Tide work on silk part 1

Estuary at High Tide photo taken at KVI, Vashon

I printed photo out because I love it so and want to do a work in silk based on it. It is one of my "abstract" photos.
I've had it on my wall for over a year. I've been thinking about what materials and dyes to use, whether to make it 2 dimensional or 3, how to make the textures...

Yesterday I decided begin the process of making a work on silk.
