December 9, 2011 Draft colour...

Computerized draft:


And, in related historical background news:

In 1996, the Detroit Institute of Arts held this exhibition:
"Woven Splendor: Five Centuries of European Tapestry in the Detroit Institute of Arts," at which this tapestry was on display:



"Millefleurs Tapestry with the Arms of the Brachet and other Families of Orleans, Blois, and Anjou," probably designed in France and woven in the southern Netherlands, ca. 1500-20, wool & silk, 9'6" x 10'1", Founders Society Purchase, General Membership Fund, DIA no. 56.190.

And, in unrelated but highly relevant news, these two pages did not sell for $700 each, so they're up again at $600 on eBay.
