SUMMER PALACE
This wrap design was initially inspired by an image of a printed cushion cover I found in a magazine, but having visited the Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace near Mysore in India a few years ago, I was inspired to look at the design again and link it into my Mysore Collection.
I feel that the design and the wonderful colours within the range of Baa Ram Ewe's lovely new yarn Colourwork Pip reflects the elaborate carved and painted wooden pillars and painted friezes found within the building.
