They are based on the Heian screens used as room dividers, for walls, privacy, etc., though modified since we intend to take them camping (for example, the panels are faux silk, not painted silk). My husband made the frames, which will painted this summer. We are both working on the panels (24 total) and the wide ribbons that drape them. I am making the cord out of kumihimo.
