Just a little note for fabric fans — my latest collection, Underwater for Cloud9 Fabrics, is now in stores! A little bit about the inspiration behind the collection… I have always loved the ocean. Nature, above ground, is filled with such weird and wonderful things and it’s always been so inspiring to me, but it wasn’t until last year that I tried snorkelling in Mexico at the Great Mayan Reef, and got a closer look at what lives under the surface. There is a whole other world down there. I loved seeing the way the plants on the ocean floor gently dance together with the current, the fascinating mosses and reef formations, the patterns that form so naturally, and the graceful creatures that live within it, how peaceful and quiet it felt. I started drawing on the beach and developed the collection upon my return home.
Impression Originale
I am thrilled to announce my collaboration with luxury gift wrap company, Impression Originale. Based in France, their papers are actually made in France and are beautifully produced, with hits of gorgeous metallic inks. Subtle sophistication at its best. The papers are available through their website (and they ship globally!), as well as hand-picked retailers around France, including the Centre de Pompidou in Paris!
PRETTY PROTEST SIGNS
As a woman, and I suppose just generally in my life, I’ve often felt underestimated. I've been belittled or overshadowed based on my gender, or misjudged because I choose quiet over loud. It’s been a major source of frustration. But inside of most of us, there is so much strength and power, and the awareness that we are capable of far more than we’ve been given credit for. There are lions inside of many of us. So this quote resonates with me.
These are strange times in the political landscape — it baffles me that women’s rights, or anyone’s rights, are being challenged. The upside is that I can feel the temperature rising among people like myself who haven’t been too politically involved in the past. A theme of ‘waking up’ and needing to get involved, and that’s inspiring and full of hope. Activism is in the air.
If you’re going to the Women’s March this weekend, please feel free to download this pretty protest sign I created for it. And if you’re *not* going to the March but are feeling the spirit of it in your heart, I’ve created it in a few sizes that are good for framing, so you can put it in your space. I hope it reminds you of the power you hold within you and encourages you to stay engaged with fighting the good fight.
xoxo,
Elizabeth
