Description "Calming Love" is made of blue chirimen (it has a neat wave pattern) and some hand-dyed silk that I dyed to accent it.

This little one has a lot of doubled petals for relief and to accent the weave of the chirimen crepe. I think it's one of my favorite little designs so far...

You can see more pictures of it on my etsy here: [link]

ooooh~ ♥
the pattern on the lighter blue fabric is nice, it remind me of light reflections in not so deep & calm water
the dark blue especially around the petals accents that really well, the silver pearls go well with the general design. The rhinestones in the middle are a nice detail as well,
the colors and general design are really representing calmness. I'm not sure, weather love but since blue is the color of faith and loyalty i think it kinda matches well

Oh that's cute! I love how the light blue have dark blue borders, almost like it holding it in place xD like small ponds of water. This has to be my favourite colorwise <3

thank you so much. ♥ ^_^ I just had to use the chirimen (patterned fabric), and I thought it'd help finish the design to outline it... ^_^ glad you feel it's the right look!!

Wow, it's so beautiful!

It's like looking at the ocean, on a clear, sunny but cool day, and the sun just hits the deep blue water pretty, and you can see every wave accented by a white gleam of light or frothy foam~

The design of the piece and the pattern of the chirimen (along with the hand-dyed silk ) compliment each other so well!
