Life With Boys

The mis-adventures of two crazy boys and their bleary eyed parents.


Lani Art Source — 12-Page Floral Drawing and Pattern Scan

Recovered Lani art source — January 11, 2010.

Danielle forwarded Mindy a scan with the note: “Here are some of Mom’s drawings — can’t find the one I’m looking for of course — maybe one of these will work.”

The surviving attachment, SHARESCAN09_EXCHANGE_01112010-075648.PDF, is a 12-page image-only scan.

What survives in the scan

The pages contain black-and-white floral line drawings and pattern layouts: daisies, clustered blossoms, stylized roses/poppies, small bouquet studies, border arrangements, and larger decorative flower forms.

Several pages show multiple variations of the same general flower/bouquet idea, sometimes inside ovals or rectangles. Some have faint handwritten color or production notes. The final pages clearly include pattern-production markings such as “POCKET,” “CUT 1 AND 1 REVERSE,” “TRIAL,” “FOLD,” and “DO NOT STAMP.”

Because the scan itself does not label individual pieces with titles or dates, this draft does not invent them. The entire 12-page set should be preserved as a single Lani design/craft-pattern source and later reconnected to the WordPress media library page-by-page if desired.

This material is distinct from the already published 2006 “Art By Lani” paintings post.

About Me

I started this site so my mom could get news about her grandkids without me having to walk her through the process of trying to open and email attachment several times a week.  Since then she has passed away and I’ve fallen off the blog wagon, but I’m inspired to pick it up again now.
