Paisley obsession


I have a thing for paisley. Paisley and colorwork are not compatible. I have reached that conclusion based on a search for any paisley looking chart, or even any FO that would inspire me. Why is there nothing out there that resembles this pillow? Is it because it would take some fine-gauge colorwork to get this kind of curvature? Then I think about Eunny's Anemoi mittens
and it can't be why. Does this mean I have found a hole in our knitting pattern universe? What I am envisioning is a hat or mittens done with a paisley design. I could actually chart my own. That's a new idea, something has always stopped me. But I guess if this is what I'm looking for I may need to take this on. Please someone, save me, find me a link where someone has done this before me!

Hmm ....what about using Knit Pro from Micro Revolt to chart it out?
