I like stripes and choosing the combination of colours that can be put together. I have some Missoni towels that are beautiful enough to be displayed as wall hangings. I first saw them in a fascinating Missoni shop window in Bellagio on Lake Como. I gazed at the shop window for ages as I don't think I had seen Missoni stripes before.
On the subject of tigers I was interested to read that each tiger has a unique pattern of stripes.
I painted the stripes freehand so the pattern on this particular tie is also uinque.
Another tie that I painted is shown below. It is called Candy Stripe and makes me think of a kind of cylindrical sweet that is soft like marshmallow and has different colours swirled together.
