Zendala Dare #5

I am a story artist, meaning I like my art to tell a story, so I tried to do that with this one. When I first saw this pattern from The Bright Owl, I thought of windmills. The theme for this zendala is the Netherlands. The "propeller" is a windmill. I chose to use green, because it is a green technology. I also think the green lets the windmill stand out, it is attached but detached. I hear they are tearing a lot of the windmills down in the Netherlands, so I wanted to give that effect. The country's flag colors are red, white, and blue. Two of their main exports are tulips (center) and gouda cheese, so I built  patterns with those two items in mind.
