My original idea for this was to have a lot of detailed pencil work, and to make it look like an old fashioned bookplate. Once I drew the outline of the leaves it reminded me of batik fabric designs, so I ended up going in an entirely different direction.
The whole thing looks almost abstract, which is not at all my usual style. It's Dusty Miller, but I could also get away with saying that it's an illustration of dust under a microscope. Whatever it is, I think it's kind of interesting looking. What do you think?
Beautiful graphic design!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I almost didn't post this because it took such I different turn that what I envisioned. It's wonderful to see your kind words!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it would make a really sharp fabric pattern. Submit this one to Spoonflower!
ReplyDeleteI would have went with Dusty Springfield on this challenge, which wouldn't have looked nearly as cool!
oh, and experiment like this more...
it clearly works really well for you!
Bookplates, you say? Hmmm..... This needs some thought. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe colors on this piece are gorgeous, especially the really dark blues.
