While we may connect rain with dreary weather, I love the idea of searching for rain drops on the spectacular blooming flowers. The closer I can get the better. And of course I capture the magical moments with my camera. After my walk, I went home and flipped through all of my images. There were three that caught my attention and I decided to use them in a scarf collection I call "Rain in the Garden". Take a look below and see how a close up can end up being a fabulous textile pattern.
I am fortunate to live in an area full of beautiful public parks and gardens. Spring is a fabulous time to go visit these gardens as they are in full bloom and kick off a season of breath-taking colors! What better time is there for a textile designer to grab her camera and go find natural treasures? Not too long ago, as we were getting a bunch of rain in Washington D.C., I spent an afternoon walking through Brookside Gardens while rain was coming down and the sky was overcast. I just could not stay away. And it paid off! While we may connect rain with dreary weather, I love the idea of searching for rain drops on the spectacular blooming flowers. The closer I can get the better. And of course I capture the magical moments with my camera. After my walk, I went home and flipped through all of my images. There were three that caught my attention and I decided to use them in a scarf collection I call "Rain in the Garden". Take a look below and see how a close up can end up being a fabulous textile pattern. I ended up using the imagery in a variety of sizes, going from smaller print to large scale to get as much visual variety as possible. And the rain drops from the afternoon are now forever celebrated in my scarves! If you like what you see and are as in love with Spring as I am, take a look at my shop and treat yourself to a rain drop or two.
