I took images of the gates at Cherry Hinton Hall park on the way out from my 'park shoot'. I have a thing about cast iron work, especially the Victorian kind with its total attention to detail and love for organic shapes. This speaks to me of Victorian England and Jack the Ripper. All that's missing is the fog and blood spatter. LOL

  

All images/textures/brushes my own or bought. Edited with Photoshop.

All my images are available on Redbubble, Artflakes, Society6 and Bluecanvas as prints, cards, posters, skins for laptops, Blackberry, iPhones and other phones (for the skins go to Bluecanvas).

Sugar Plums, Fleur-de-Lys and Wall Flowers

Here are two versions of the pattern I worked till 2.30 last night to get finished. I can't decide which version I like better - the one with leaves or the one without.

Sugar Plums


I saw a vintage Japanese mould of a sugar plum design and really, really liked it so this pattern was created with the lovely mould design in mind. :-) It's going to be part of my oriental pattern collection.

Here are a couple more Gothic patterns:

Fleur-De-Lys


Wall Flowers

This was actually inspired by a visit to a local church. Since I'd already done the gargoyles (although I might come back to that) I decided to do something along the lines of the stone mouldings.



Again, I couldn't decide which design I like better - the first one is the original, the second one has been coloured to look like aged sandstone.


More to come in the next days including four pairs of earrings. :-)
