Queen Anne's Lace


One more new shirt up in the Etsy Shop AND Red Prairie Press.
To make this design, we simply weeded our garden. Really. We pulled some queen anne's lace out of the tomatoes, and i stuck the plant itself right to my emulsed screen, and burned it on there! You might say this particular one is homegrown!

Regardless, we think Queen Anne's Lace, or, "wild carrot flowers" are just too pretty to be dubbed weeds, and we think they should get a little more credit as flowers. Consider this shirt (and a new, forthcoming scarf) our campaign to enhance the rep. of this backyard treasure. As much as we do not approve of feudalism we approve of Queen Anne's lace.

$25 in both shops now!

YES! forgot to give a specific shout out to you for encouraging this one to be more than a size large. :)
Look forward to twinning it! especially if I get to continue modeling jewelry too!
