Pantone Color of the Year 2022: Very Peri

 Very Peri:

It just so happens to be a Bird of Paradise color! 
And, ever since I moved my computer desk to be near a window, I can see some blooming as I type!

I'm in the process of working up a Bird of Paradise repeat. I'll post it here when I finish it.

Meanwhile, I'm refreshing artwork with Very Peri in the mix:

Paper Weavings and a Carnivorous Plant Toile

I've been diligently creating my detritus paper weaves every morning, whether they get posted to Instagram or not.

This latest set is a mixture of leopard, a ditsy, and strips from a print I called Tropical Goth (link)

I became fond of the bits of botanical drawings in the cut strips:

I really liked how they looked on the white ground and felt the motifs would make a great toile print, minus the palm fronds. [Below are "outtakes" from work. I was testing out the colors to get the correct balance of grays. The dark is the rectangle defining the repeat of the print].

Et voila!
