I want s'mola!

One of my favorite types of craft work are molas done by the Cuna Indians in Panamá. My family lived there for three years, and I remember vividly the bright combinations of colors and the objects depicted--mostly animals, but also other random things like panties or just geometric shapes. Basically, you have layers of cloth of various colors and you cut away at the top layers to reveal the colors below. Then you have to carefully sew to keep everything together. I attempted this, but I wasn't very successful.... I still don't quite get how it works.... Maybe I need to learn to sew properly.... hmmmm....

So, I was thinking that I could do a knitted version of a mola. So, to that end, I bought a bunch of yarn in Bergamo. I bought Classic Light by Sandilane. It's a 70% pure new wool/30% dralon blend. I got two skeins of black and one each of yellow, blue, red, orange and green. Now, I just need to work out a chart for the design.... I guess it will involve intarsia or Fair Isle or both, I guess, with all the constantly changing colors, but we'll see. I'm open for suggestions!
