Finally after weeks of procrastinating I made myself sit down & draw this weekend!
I grabbed my favourite coloured Copic Makers & my thin tipped black pens & just went for it. Inspiration came from a paisley pattern book I own. After finishing the drawing I scanned it into the computer & made a pattern on Photoshop – I haven’t done this for ages! So much fun! :)

I love this one!!! Alana is sooo clever la la la laaaa la la
Absolutely lovely – that single piece would look beautiful framed in my humble opinion :0D
ooh LittleLeaf I think your paisley design has got personality !
I had a lovely hand blocked indian paisley patterned cloth years ago which was favourite of mine .
Endless possibilties with designs inside the form . I agree about gift wrap :-)
Thank you Poppytump! I wonder where I go to get fabric or gift wrap made? I would love to do that. :) Must do my research I think.
Agreee with Viveka, this talks to me as a Swede a lot. You can also check out the Norwegian variety Rosemaling http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_274/09c7ae41cad96eff32d877a5579a483f/09c7ae41cad96eff32d877a5579a483f.jpg
Oh wow! Thanks for that link & thanks for visiting :)
Well done. This would look fabulous as wrapping paper and a gift card.
Thank you :)
This sketch is very likeness our traditional form of painting that was used for decoration for walls and furnishers – goes back to the 1700th. We call it dalmålning
And some of your art reminds me a about it. Here is one like – but for more use google and search for – dalmålning. Like your sketch very much.

Oh wow Viveka! That is very cool. I just Googled it & I see what you mean. Thanks for the comment :)
You’re so welcome – having been thinking about the resemblance between some of your art and our Dalmålningar. Maybe you had an earlier life over here .. in Dalarna, the county there you find those paintings.
Nice : ) You can never have too much paisley.
Thanks Anna :)
Very intricate, nice work. :)
