Magenta And Navy

Part of the Iemanja collection, this magenta, navy, orchids fabric features hand-painted orchids, 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 friend, I've just fallen head over heels for this 'Orchids Hand-Painted Ocean Blush' beauty! Imagine gentle ocean waves meeting a blush sunrise, all wrapped around delicate orchid petals. There's something so calming about the navy blue contrasting with the soft, dreamy blush hues. It's like a serene, heartfelt hug for your eyes. Each petal seems to whisper secrets of gratitude, like a quiet morning spent with a cup of tea. You know how some designs just feel like they're telling you a story? This one feels like a love letter to peaceful moments. It's got that vintage romance vibe you adore, with a touch of whimsical charm that feels like a wink from the past. I can already see it as a backdrop for a cozy nook or on fabrics calling out for a slow, thoughtful creation. Just thought you’d appreciate this little slice of painted tranquility.
