Flannels
Flannels by Karin Taylor
This card is from an original ink and acrylic painting by Karin Taylor.
The colours and textures have been altered and added to in Photoshop.
I liked the idea of adding stitching and a stained glass effect…so it’s both quilted and stained glass at the same time …

Karin Taylor
replied
thanks helene, i do love a design, something repetitive, the lines, i don’t know what it is, but it feels good to be in and around design
helene ruiz

I like patchwork and mosaic and these seems to be like both.
