or someone who just loves the holiday!
The spectacle of the Mardi Gras holiday has always held a lot of "wow" factor for me; the bead, the bright colors, the masks, etc. I hope that this pattern helps to lend some of the pizzaz that embodies the famous New Orleans holiday! The original pattern was done with purple micron pen on 140lb cold press watercolor paper, and then painted over with several watercolor washes. I then scanned the pattern and put it into photoshop to assemble it. I also have a larger repeat available of this pattern, as well as two versions with a purple background! No matter which version you choose, I hope this Mardi Gras mask textile brings a sense of festiveness to whatever you lovely seamstresses and semstrors (is that a word?) decide to sew with it :) Want a custom fabric design? I'm a freelance illustrator and am always open to new projects!
