My first goal with this design was to create a batik background. But, not wanting to use fabric or dyes, get wax on my iron... or inhale the fumes...I had to find another way. There are several ideas on the internet to create a faux batik on paper. I found some...tried them...didn't get it right...experimented more...until I came up with the look I was going for. The next step involved including a vision of the Hilton Hawaiian Hotel per the contest rules. There is the beach, the lagoon, the volcano, foliage, sea life and a hint of water activities. I've even used flower lei balconies on the hotel known for it's iconic rainbow mosaic. The look is busy by design reflecting my admiration for the traditional island prints with rich layered patterns. Take a stay-vacation by sewing a dress or shirt or even some fun pillows with this colorful design! :-) Thanks for stopping by! Aloha!
