Taste of the Orient.

As an artist, my mind is always searching out new directions to gain inspiration. I have long loved the delicate forms in Japanese art and especially kimono fabrics and textiles. Early spring is a time for the fabulous Cherry blossom or "Sakura Zensen" which begins in Okinawa in January and gradually spreads towards Kyoto by the end of March. The Japanese love their cherry blossom time and it features heavily in their art and textiles. I have a few ideas of my own for adding beautiful Japanese fabrics to my cocktail hat collection. Here are a few of my available designs, featured in my Folksy shop. Many thanks for reading, catch you all later, happy spring!
