Seldom in a woman…

peacock pattern by Fighting Tiger.
For over a year I’ve been planning on taking this design from my notebook and turning it into vectors. In May, 2006 I sketched it from the a17th century Indian Mughul silver vase seen at The Hermitage in St Petersburg, Russia.
Tonight it’s taken a good two hours playing around in Flash trying to get everything lining up - “Why isn’t this instantaneous?” I kept on thinking. I had to remind myself that the original was etched by hand and that the silversmith also graduated the curves of the pattern so that it remained stable around the curves of the vase.
