The joy of designing a print, first identifying the motif and then the repeat. One single item, placed, flipped, flopped all in a row forms a happy pattern. Prints have always provided whimsy to me. I love a great print tie, a sash or a scarf. It can add zest to an all solid ensemble. The french always have a certain saviour faire - a little print tucked into a pocket or tied with a non-chalant touch. I can take a frog and turn it into a "prints charming" tout suite! Sport a silk print and feel the charm. These prints were produced on silk twill for ties fit for a Prince.

Hi there, I was just telling Ronda when we met how much I loved the masthead illustration you made for her blog. It's so whimsical and elegant!
I'm off to explore your blog now...
bonjour,mary-laure- working on my masthead, and I keep playing around with the colors for each post.
merci!
They are lovely. Totally smile makers.
Love your fabric designing! It is my favorite part of your site - please do more!
your sea horses are fab!
I love love love your work!!! I would love to have you do something for my store or just for fun I found you on Absolutely Beautiful Things- and I just adore your style! How do I get more information on having something done?
Best!
I LOVE these Patricia!! The sea horses are wonderful!
You are truly so talented! Your post has inspired me to turn off the computer and reach for the sketch book for the rest of the evening.
brilliant a- my intent for this blog is exactly that - to inspire other creative individuals to start to draw or to do something they love to make their world more artful! open up those crayola boxes and break out the metallics... or your special color! surprise yourself!
Look out Hermés... have you considered contacting them? Or perhaps Ferragamo? These prints are worthy of a luxury tie.
