Sketch it and watercolor it

I know this weblog is all about tatting but I somehow seem to have developed an appetite for water color.  Well to be fair I can't ignore the very helpful source that I found recently in developing this appetite.

Since I saw this tutorial here I decided to sketch and paint it myself. I finally did ! I changed the coloring as I thought the original painting was too red for my taste...I guess I can still play more with the colors to find a better balance and harmony...maybe next time :)
