"A dried flower/plant" analysis

Descriptive sentences/words in order to inspire a starting point: 

The colour of this object struck me first, a deep raspberry/plum hue, so I assumed it must be a dried plant or flower of some kind. It was quite large in my hand, its structure consisted of layers of leaves or petals. They almost reminded me of feathers on a bird. 

Thought process on the page:

I really liked the petal/layered effect. It reminded me of a dress or garment, so I quickly  sketched a design. And then manipulated the colours and shapes into a rough abstract pattern.

Media used: 

Fine liner,
Watercolour inktense pencils &
A splash of Photoshop.
