I've been wanting to get this tattooed for awhile now. I finally drew it up the other day.. so I'm one step closer!

Basically its meant to be a mini family tree... 3 branches representing 3 generations of women (my grandmother, my mum and me). Both my grandmother and mum have passed on so its also a tribute to the two women that inspired me the most.

The three kittens are the three cats that belonged to us; The gray one is Periwinkle, he was a stray that my mum brought home when she was a teenager (to the dismay of my granddad, who was only going to let him stay for a couple of days but during those few days he fell in love). The ginger was my grandmothers cat Muffins, and lastly the black/white is my little stray kitty Astro, that i love.

The tree is a silk cotton tree (Bombax) in some seasons it looks like a cherry blossom tree. I chose this tree because all three of us have a passion for fashion, sewing and fabric. The silk cotton tree cant actually make cotton though... so I guess its more the name that attracted me then the qualities. It is also an Australian native.

It was also based on some vintage wrapping paper i found in my grandmothers house.
