My previous avatar was a photo I took at Wisley of a flower named after me, during the trials for which it won the Award of Garden Merit I cite underneath my username. It was bred by my mother-in-law.
This one is a tie created by the highly talented
@rvw based on that photo. I have a tie we bought on a market stall of a Welsh dragon in very unWelsh colours, which she's recreated for me because it's frayed so much as to be unweareable. When I wore it to the office a couple of days ago, several people commented favourably on it. At the same time she also produced this one.
I came home last night to find another prototype waiting for me...
It needs a little more refinement, but I love it. This is only about the third time she's tried but painting on silk.
She may be willing to take orders..
