These colors have little relation, but totally remind me of the book:
Tricia Guild Pattern

I've owned this book for a couple years now and STILL love every page of it. Besides the fact that the cover of the book is flocked, the inside pages are packed full of hand-rendered, painted, and intricately done patternwork. I wonder if some of Tricia Guild's inspiration comes from global influences like these?

I suppose if I actually read the excerpts from the book I might see where her ideas come from. Too bad I'm so distracted by all the pretty artwork! :)
