Melange paisley in turquoise and green notebook

This original design was inspired by a wide variety of sources, like henna, rangoli, pysanki, aboriginal and primitive art, William Morris, and the French and Scottish paisleys of the 19th century. I did this with pen and ink, and colourized it in the computer ~ and what a fun project! I describe it as "a lush, exuberant, florid display of every colour imaginable." My goal was to exhaust the colour palette ~ and I'm not sure anyone could prove otherwise...
