playing with my food

 
I see a textile design here.

Turkish textile from the Ottoman period, late 1600's

Oh wait, and there is.  A Turkish textile designed a long long time ago.
I heard they used tulips, carnations, and/or lotus flowers as inspiration.
Not Brussels sprouts.

I watched Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall's take on Brussels sprouts yesterday and here you are with another great idea for this fenomenal veggie. They are tasty AND beautiful!

Brussels sprouts are vastly underestimated (especially among my kids) - you can start a brussels sprout trend in contemporary textiles! :)

Loved this Janis.... a few embellishments like the turkish designers and you would have an equally sophisticated pattern...but.hey... it is interesting as is!
Happy New Year my friend ....wishing you wonderful things in 2012.
