These beautifully carved "windows" I saw when in the V&A. Recently I have been working with these images and today had a screen made, taking inspiration from the first image. They are so intricate yet simple. I have planes of taking these classic examples and expressing them through modern screen printing - possibly using neon green paint layered on top of a garishly patterned fabric- also there is possibilities with just printing on white and bonding the new material to and existing one by using the embellisher.
