Description
I made a macro capture of my old scarf so I could use the patterns simile paisley. My goal was to recreate a persian looking type of wall display or Oriental looking kind of carpet. The scarf was originaly brown and white. I used the picassa software to digitize the macro to a pretty blue turquoise color mixed with white and navy color for the background of the pattern. I finalized the work by framing it with a simple yet fancy pale blue color that enhances the designs and the white stiches from the patterns.

.paisley, paisley neckties [Credit: Kurt Forstner] textile pattern characterized by colourful, curved abstract figures; it is named for the shawls manufactured at the town of Paisley, Scot. When, about 1800, patterned shawls made from the soft fleece of the Kashmir goat began to be imported to Britain from India, machine-woven equivalents were made at Paisley to supply the insatiable demand that had been created for “cashmere” shawls. Paisley shawls, in silk and cotton and later in wool, with sober colouring, were beautiful in their own right. Their rich, abstract, curvilinear patterns, modified from their Kashmir counterparts and deriving ultimately from Mughal art, have continued to be widely adopted in modern textiles, especially for clothing. A motif resembling an enlarged comma (well-known in Mughal decorative art) is the one by which most people recognize a paisley pattern.
