From here I then turned the work into a digital format which I made into a repeating pattern, see below
I'm not convinced that the repeating pattern was terribly easy on the eye and therefore I didn't develop it further but I did still like the overall feel of the Honesty Pod imagery.
So, last autumn I approached Skye Batiks with a slightly simplified version and said they could use it if they thought it would work printed in the batik style.
To my delight they said yes and hoped it would turn into something for this years collection.
And here we are, only about 6 months later since the batik artists got hold of it and worked their magic, my design has evolved into a range of wrapover skirts in many colours. Last week I was over the moon to receive the purple and blue skirt you see in the photo.
Beautiful quality as always, thanks Skye Batiks.

how exciting for you. I absolutely love the initial design, especially the mushrooms. You should have them framed.
Thanks Louise, I haven't developed the mushroom idea, it's just a design in a portfolio at the moment, one day!
Congrats Sally, it looks great!! That is very exciting getting your print made up!
I too love the mushroom design!

Its lovely Sally x
Oh wow, they are just beautiful! hmmmm I could be tempted here, or I could drop quite a few heavy hints as it's my birthday next month! I do love the design and I also love wrap around skirts so it's a winner for me. Getting back to birthday, my sister has actually ordered me a bag from Skye Batiks. x
Thanks all,
I'm sure your Skye Batiks bag will be lovely, they are very strong and colourful.
