Wired

Today I decided to focus on one of my favorite designs that I created for Lanark wallcovering recently. It is called "Wired" and it was inspired by circuit boards, current fashion metallic effects and contemporary architectural lighting. It started as a soft linen that I painted in watercolors. I kept changing it in Photoshop until I got the etched metal effect I was looking for. Along with a soft metal embossing, Wired looks like an alchemy of subtle layers fused together. The colors were inspired by pure metal pigments such as copper, pyrite and gold.
