The Direction is getting clearer

Again, I used an Indonesian fabric as an inspiration.
Now I know what these Bassetti people do! They do -- or have done -- things that make me kneel down in awe. The result of my attempts is shockingly similar. But at last, I like it. I turned it 45 degrees and made it fit. Then I scanned it and added a dark background. I played with the colors a bit. The skewed border really gives it an Indonesian touch.

  1. Amazing how different it looks depending upon whether the background is black or white.

  3. No, these are all painted with gouache. I use the graphic program only to make the pattern fit.
