First Impression. LovesMe LovesMeNot. Maybe. Mixed Signals. Woodcut. Turn of Events. Queen of Hearts. Shattered. Slow Dance. Bubble Burst.
These are subtitles that moved along my little story of an Innocent Crush. (Okay, maybe not such a small story.) They're not just plot twists, but also the titles of each of the ten prints that compose the whole saga. I had such alot of fun with this group. That might show itself, I think (like my slip peeking out of my skirt not-so accidentally). But this story is for you. Make of it what you will, as innocent or not as you choose. I will start you with a thought, though, because its one that drove my whole design process: I love the phrase Innocent Crush, the paradox, the youth, the sweetness of it, the awkward-not-quite-right, mismatched, fickle-ness of it too. Harmony is inspiring for some, occasionally an emotional collision is even more so. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI am always so impressed how each individual print you design can stand up on it's own but also how well the entire line comes together as a collection. I'll be waiting not so patiently for the day I can purchase these lovelies!
ReplyDeleteCotton VELVETEEN?! I am so excited. Literally. I just jumped up on the ottoman and did a jig.
ReplyDeletethese are beautiful eye candy!!!! i am not much of sewer, but i look forward to seeing what you create.
