This took me to the blog - A billion tastes and tunes - where i got to see more fascinating work by Valerie Hammond.

Quoted form A billion tastes and tunes:  The beautiful lines and textures of Valerie Hammond's work. Images from Design*Sponge posts, here and here, and from the Carrie Haddad Gallery.

Well .... hope you enjoyed that cup of tea... off to paint now... good week all!
