Lavender And Sage

Part of the Iemanja collection, this orchids, wildflowers, hand-painted fabric features hand-painted orchids and wildflowers. Yemanjá - goddess of the ocean, salt water, and motherhood. Every New Year's eve in Brazil, I would go to the beach and make an offering to Yemanja. It is one of the things I miss the most about spending the holidays in the US: not going to the beach on New Year's eve for the traditional celebrations. When I sat down to paint this collection, I wanted to create something that would be my own offering to the goddess, since I can't go to the ocean and throw my flowers in. I chose blues and creams, representing the ocean, the sand and some pops of dusty rose (later I created other colorways too). I picked orchids and wildflowers, seashells, and stars as my homage. And then I chose to arrange these elements into patterns that evoke May Morris (William Morris' daughter). When I see those prints, I immediately think of flowy dresses by the beach and gratitude for Yemanja.

Hey there! I've got something special that I think you'll appreciate. Imagine a soft, hand-painted blend of orchids and wildflowers, all wrapped up in a gentle lavender hue. It's like a whisper of nostalgia, taking you back to those calm, lazy afternoons in a sun-drenched garden. The colors are pure magic—ocean mist and sage green weaving through the pattern like a gentle breeze. It's both serene and a touch whimsical, like a secret garden captured on fabric. You can almost smell the flowers! Each brushstroke feels intentional, with a kind of quiet elegance that invites you to just breathe and enjoy the moment. It's the kind of pattern that makes you want to wrap yourself up in it, sipping tea and dreaming away. Thought you'd like to know about it!
