Dandelions and Dragonflies

This is the last part of the photoshoot.


As this is a cozy Winter coat, I saved this a little longer.


Inspiration:
'Dandelion seeds and Dragonflies, both as light as air, carried by the wind for long distances, so fragile, yet so strong' 





This fabric actually was a fleece blanket we were given as a Christmas gift by our employer one year.
One of my colleagues generously gave me hers as well, when she heard about my plan to use it for a coat.




The dandelions were the result of a mandala drawing based on sound waves, when I had finished it, I thought it resembled a dandelion.
