watercolor painting by yours truly.
If you prefer to order a ready-made tea towel, click on the small thumbnail that is right side up or simply copy and paste this URL into your address bar: https://www.spoonflower.com/en/home-decor/dining/tea-towel/5531619 If you prefer to make you own tea towels, order a fat quarter of the Linen Cotton Canvas , which will yield 1 tea towel . Purchase of a yard will yield 4 tea towels! I love using these towels - not just for the art - but because the fabric is so wonderfully absorbent. For a year I mulled over the idea of melding an image of my youngest granddaughter with an iris to create an Iris Princess. When it finally came to me that I could use various parts of the flower in whatever way I chose, the concept began to work. The painting , on which this design was based, was chosen for exhibition in a juried show sponsored by the Society of Watercolor Artists of Fort Worth, Texas , in October of 2012. You may see the original painting itself at the URL below where it may be ordered as a print or on a number of items such as phone cases, tote bags, tee-shirts, beach towels, etc. Personally I love the note cards, which are very high quality and the coffee mugs.
