Amethyst River Flow

Not too long ago, I took a trip with my camera to Aburi Botanical Gardens, a somewhat neglected, but still beautiful botanical garden outside of Accra. The gardens were full of great texture, especially the mosses and rocks.  I used these photographs as a jumping point to make a series of fabric designs. Amethyst River Flow was the version of the design I chose to make into a wrap dress from poly crepe de chine.  The fabric is pretty light weight and has good drape. 
Oh, and FREE SHIPPING world wide until 12:00 EST 12/13.

Golden Monkeys for Chinese New Year and a Free Swatch!

This week’s Spoonflower challenge theme is monkeys in honor of Chinese New Year coming up on February 8^th. Chinese temple decorative patterns with their bright color palette were my inspiration for color and style.  I also wanted incorporate a monkey from China.  When I saw the golden monkey I felt it had excellent graphic possibilities.  They really have such unusual coloring.  Please consider voting.
