Discovering the Alhambra
After releasing a few hundred different stencil designs, coming up with an original name can be a bit of a chore! I often turn to the internet and just start googling to come up with names of cities and places of architectural interest. The plus there is that it gives me a chance to educate myself a little more about the world of art and the world in general.
The Alhambra design is named after an ancient palace/fortress complex that was built in what is now Southern Spain to house Moorish monarchs and Muslim kings. It is now a museum that features exquisite Islamic architecture and decorative art. This photo comes from greatbuildings.com and the Alhambra is now added to my wish list of sites to see!
