Hiya there and welcome again to 25 Sweetpeas! Right now I assumed it will be enjoyable to check out one of many patterns in my store, specifically we’re going to try the Coquina Print AKA the Butterfly Sea Shell Print.
The Inspiration:
As you all know I’m a HUGE seashore lover, I like seashore combing and trying out the entire shells on the seashore. One that you simply typically see on my coast is the Coquina Shell! Its a small shell that is available in numerous colours and they’re tremendous small! They’re fairly enjoyable to look at on the seashore, if they’re nonetheless alive and you’re the place the ocean hits the sand you’ll be able to typically spot them burrowing down within the sand till the water comes again. As soon as the water is again you’ll be able to see them come up and swim round, after which because the water goes again out, they burrow as soon as once more. Its all the time neat while you discover a cluster of them! Someday this summer season I’ll attempt to seize it on digicam and share it on Instagram, or Youtube! I feel you’ll get pleasure from it.😊 So the primary inspiration for this sample was sparked by Coquinas. Now, there’s extra to it although, so when you see a coquina shell open, it really resembles Butterfly wings. Which is why lots of people seek advice from them as Butterfly Seashells. Which leads me to the opposite inspiration of this sample. So for these of you who do not know, in December a brand new lil pet entered out life, and he or she is a Papillon. Which really means butterfly in French! The breed is called after their Ear Form as a result of when their ears are up the appear like butterfly wings! So the truth that these items crossed over simply made this sample a lot extra particular, and one of many huge causes it was right here for the launch of 25 Sweetpeas.
The Making Of:
This sample was illustrated by me, as all of our patterns are, and it was really based mostly off of a easy spot illustration I did some time again once I was working towards illustrating sea shells of every kind. Coquinas are kinda enjoyable and liberating within the sense that every one of them look a lil totally different, they’ve totally different coloration variations, and patterns. There’s a number of freedom when illustrating them but nonetheless permitting you to make them look recognizable if that is sensible.
Coming To Life:
I’ve solely had this sample placed on material, however I find it irresistible. Its a slightly impartial coloured sample regardless of the actual fact it has colours corresponding to turquoise that we do not usually affiliate with the phrase impartial. It goes with a number of summer season/spring issues, and dare I even say fall! Now we have it on tie on bandana pet scarves, and scrunchies to you and your furry good friend can match. Along with that we even have it on a pet waste bag holder, which I like as a result of once more its such an excellent impartial sample that has a seashore vibe that goes with every little thing in my view!
I’m so excited to have this sample accessible on merchandise for y’all to get pleasure from! Its such a enjoyable and particular sample to me and I can not wait until y’all are having fun with it as a lot as I do! You’ll be able to store it now within the store!
