18th Century Fabric - Reimagined. Again.

This one looked "easy" but took me several hours over several days to complete.

Of course, I switched it up a lot so that it is very different from the 200 year old curtain panel that inspired it.

A bright color palette replaced black and gold.

Another 18th Century Redo

This design had another large flower, but I changed the design by just using the one. I included the smaller bouquet, but fudged it a lot to make it different from the original.

The leaves took forever!

Opposites Attract - Tropical Designs

Winter is full of bright snow, indoor coziness, cold walks ... and dreaming of warm sunshine.

Maybe it's not a coincidence that I was attracted to recreate a vintage tropical barkcloth from the 40s.  If the warmth isn't outside right now, it can be in my imagination.
