This was a lovely way to spend an hour or so this afternoon! The design isn’t quite finished. I have more colour to add, and textural patterns too. But this gives an idea of where I am going with it.

I started with a simple ‘fragment’ – a square with a diamond in it. From there, I built up the central panel of four motifs. I decided to use the same starting point for the outer borders, just a smaller and simpler version.

Colour was added using Kuretake Gansai Tambi Art Nouveau watercolours and Winsor and Newton gold calligraphy ink.

It will take me a wee while to finish. It depends on my energy levels and ability to focus on a task. I seem to be improving little by little – hurrah!
