I’ve started a new fabric collection based around those wonderful old fashioned wild roses. I used to have a fence filled with hundreds of those pretty white blooms.
I started scribbling these wild thorny branches and remembered how small birds used to hide in mine. I thought it would be fun to have tiny bird’s nests hanging from pretty ribbons here and there.

I am drawing the elements in Adobe Illustrator as vector art so I can rearrange things. I haven’t got the branches quite right yet or any birds nests done but it’s a start. That background color will change. I will probably change all the colors.
