Playing with Watercolor

I was playing with watercolor and creating patterns with them recently.  This one started out as a 9-patch of circles with lines connecting each.  It looked quite blahhhhh, although it reminded me of a Tiffany lamp -- the kind with grapes that is somewhat asymmetrical.  

First, I considered looking for a Tiffany lamp photo reference, but then decided to draw it by memory for the fun of it.  The lamp and base were drawn with a Sharpie marker and smaller lines made with a Micron pen.  To look at this as a standalone piece, I like it--including the few drips that run toward the base (they were there before the drawing was done).  It is much better as a lamp than as the patterned paper.

The photo at the bottom is the kind of Tiffany lamp I had envisioned before doing the drawing in the top photo...a funky abstraction!
