I was attracted to that large swirling focal immediately with this design. I love the simple graphic quality of this handmade component as it speaks to me of the rustic and almost child-like exuberance with which Avery has painted this glorious fall landscape. The fact that Miss Kathy also made her own swirl component to match just makes my heart do a jig! The colors in this piece are not as vibrant as the inspiration, but have the same tonal quality and the muted shades work so well with the orange-y copper handmade components. A beautiful, eclectic design!
