wednesday....

today has been a very good day - i had birthday cake at work! and it was a delicious lemon tart! so wicked! this is a sketch that i did a couple of weeks ago based on a wallpaper from the 1800's i think - i can't find the original picture anywhere. but, the original was very flowery with a lot of embellishments. i have scaled this back in my own version and made it much simpler. my drawing was in an orange pencil but then i started fiddling with it in photoshop and i really liked this purple version instead!! i think that this would make a fabulous fabric or even a wrapping paper! i could see it in lovely bold colours, or even muted earthy tones.....the possibilities are endless....
