I downloaded this image from the seed and nursery catalog art maintained by the Smithsonian Libraries. Then I fixed all the tatters and enhanced the colors in Photoshop.
It's lovely; however, you do know that it is the tatters that create story and pattern and patina, right? Ha! I don't think that you are a patina kinda gal. =D
