Pimp my laptop with roses & castles

I must be mad (or have no shame) to show you this, but here's a pic of me working at my 'pimped' laptop yesterday afternoon.   

This is the work that Victoria Hignell on NB Otley painted for me at the Saul Festival last month, and I'm still really pleased about it.  So pleased am I that I've scanned it in hi-resolution for your delectation.

A couple of weeks back, a guy in Gloucester Starbucks came up to me and said he thought it was 'fantastic, really great, I'm jealous'.  He didn't know about roses & castles, and didn't recognise it as a waterways customisation.  Still, it was nice to get the appreciation.

I'd be interested to hear of anyone else who's had an everyday item painted in waterways folk-art style.
