Design for handpainted wallpaper

Close-up walldesign. Pencil on paper, colored in Photoshop.
The interior stylist of the creative director of ID&T and his wife, asked me to make handpainted wallpaper for their new house in Amsterdam. They liked the wallpainting I made in Ludwig Zwei, so I chose to keep the sphere the same. But every new assignment is an opportunity to explore, and I had a lot of ideas.  Here are some close-ups.

Inspired by the poem 'The butterfly's ball and the grasshopper's feast I used insects and small animals for the design.

I love birdcages, I noticed that I draw/paint them a lot. I think it symbolizes the door to freedom. (Birds shouldn't be in there!)

 I'm going to use acrylics and oilpaint for this wallpaper.  It are 4 panels all together.

Here's a map for the room, so I'm able to see which part is the most important. It's also good to find out where the joints are to make them invisible.
