Watercolor - Tangled Flowers

When I want to tangle flower-like shapes, I look to two designers first: Sandy Steen Bartholomew and Sandra Strait (aka Molossus). I also use the book by Sandy named Totally Tangled. Sandra is a prominently featured designer in the book. Their tangles I used, with some variations are: by Molossus: Kisses. Marnariana, Kristy's Crown. By Sandy: Mumsy, In Bloom, and Yes. Also used Dust Bunny by Margaret Bremner, which looks more like a flower than dust to me, lol. The tulips are mine. I haven't drawn them detangled yet; but if I do, I'll name them Twolips.

The watercolor paper I used was really cheap and pilled easily on the colorwash background. I used Inktense pencils to do the watercolor. The original is 5.5" square. Hope you like it.
