AFRICAN DESIGNS to PRODUCT

I have taken a number of wild animal skin designs and
added the tribal motifs of Africa. Those designs were
rendered in gouache on Arches Aquarelle/Watercolor,
hot press, 90lb paper. The tribal motifs were gleaned
from the reference, AFRICAN DESIGNS From Traditional
Sources, by Geoffrey Williams. This is a great book
and is the obvious reference for many of the leading
designs which have in recent years been on every
thing from sheets to clothes.
This is what I did with my designs:
The Congo motifs are on the sides, heel and across the upper part of the toe on this shoe. These shoes are available in my shop, ‘a la mode’.
The store is growing and also contains designs inspired from Mexican Pottery which I will be developing tomorrow.
