Howdy there and welcome again to 25 Sweetpeas! Right now I believed it will be enjoyable to check out one of many patterns in my store, particularly we’re going to try the Coquina Print AKA the Butterfly Sea Shell Print.
The Inspiration:
As you all know I’m a HUGE seaside lover, I really like seaside combing and trying out all the shells on the seaside. One that you simply usually 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 observe on the seaside, if they’re nonetheless alive and you’re the place the ocean hits the sand you possibly can usually spot them burrowing down within the sand till the water comes again. As soon as the water is again you possibly can see them come up and swim round, after which because the water goes again out, they burrow as soon as once more. Its at all times neat if 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 principle inspiration for this sample was sparked by Coquinas. Now, there may be extra to it although, so in the event you see a coquina shell open, it really resembles Butterfly wings. Which is why lots of people consult with 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 she or he is a Papillon. Which really means butterfly in French! The breed is known as after their Ear Form as a result of when their ears are up the seem like butterfly wings! So the truth that these items crossed over simply made this sample a lot extra particular, and one of many massive 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 practising illustrating sea shells of all sorts. Coquinas are kinda enjoyable and releasing within the sense that every one of them look a lil totally different, they’ve totally different shade variations, and patterns. There’s lots of freedom when illustrating them but nonetheless permitting you to make them look recognizable if that is smart.
Coming To Life:
I’ve solely had this sample placed on material, however I find it irresistible. Its a relatively impartial coloured sample regardless of the actual fact it has colours similar to turquoise that we do not usually affiliate with the phrase impartial. It goes with lots of summer season/spring issues, and dare I even say fall! We now have it on tie on bandana pet scarves, and scrunchies to you and your furry pal can match. Along with that we even have it on a pet waste bag holder, which I really like as a result of once more its such a great impartial sample that has a seaside vibe that goes with every little thing for my part!
I’m so excited to have this sample out there 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 possibly can store it now within the store!
