The process: from art to organic t-shirts. A peek at what I do behind the scenes, from start to finish, using my Dancing Lotus Flowers as the artwork that ended up on lovely organic tops by @doc__cotton ... Swipe to see the images, starting with the time-lapse of my original painting, the pattern I created from it, and the t-shirts they ended up on. I love what I do, it’s so satisfying! * _________________________________________ If you’d like to know more, it’s all blogged up at http://bit.ly/DanceLotus (link to gifts blog in profile) _________________________________________ It’s brilliant seeing my designs come alive on handmade 100% organic cotton clothes that encourage a more eco-friendly, sustainable lifestyle. Clothing to be treasured, inspiring a less-disposable, #keeperculture mentality. #takethestep and begin living a more consciously aware, mindful life. * _________________________________________ Shop at: https://marianablackdesigns.com - link via my profile page. _________________________________________ * #marianablackdesigns #floatinglemonsgifts #simplyimperfectlife #marianablack #doccotton #organicclothing #sustainableclothing #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #ecofriendly #handmade #madeintheuk #giftideas #consciousawareness #artprocess #ethicalfashion #giftstotreasure #tshirt #totebag #patterndesign #lotusflower #watercolour https://www.instagram.com/p/B34LEkbBLMt/?igshid=r63k255etp0v

Lovely caramel and brown watercolour flowers, warm and rich colours for autumn — or fall depending on where you are — gorgeous against white on a t-shirt and against elegant black on a turtleneck, both handmade from 100% organic cotton by @doc_cotton * These turned out even nicer than I expected. The colours are vibrant, the painted design looks beautiful, and I’m proud to have been a part of their making. This is about me, imperfectly taking a small creative step towards changing my world and working towards an eco-friendlier lifestyle. #takethestep #keeperculture * Shop at: https://marianablackdesigns.com - link via my profile page. _________________________________________ * Blogged at: http://bit.ly/FLAcaramel or click the link in the profile. _________________________________________ * #marianablackdesigns #floatinglemonsgifts #simplyimperfectlife #marianablack #doccotton #organicclothing #sustainableclothing #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #ecofriendly #handmade #madeintheuk #giftideas #consciousawareness #keeperculture #ethicalfashion #giftstotreasure #tshirt #turtleneck #patterndesign #flowers #watercolour https://www.instagram.com/p/B3pLYrsBSeO/?igshid=1t44yjq6movmi

Hot and Spicy Chillies on 100% organic cotton shirts and t-shirts … they’re cheeky and such fun! The shirt is actually meant for men but we liked it so much that we’ve kidnapped it for ourselves :D * Both tops are available exclusively from the Mariana Black Designs store over at @doc__cotton : http://bit.ly/MBDocCotton ... or click the link in my profile. * I’ve used #reallifemodels (in other words, friends who kindly posed for me) with much appreciation for their patience … I just have to hone my photo skills! Any flaws in the pics are mine and not theirs! * _________________________________________ * Blogged at: http://bit.ly/FLAnewTops _________________________________________ * #marianablackdesigns #floatinglemonsgifts #simplyimperfectlife #marianablack #doccotton #organicclothing #sustainableclothing #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #ecofriendly #handmade #madeintheuk #giftguide #giftideas #consciousawareness #keeperculture #ethicalfashion #giftstotreasure #organicshirt #turtleneck #patterndesign #chrysanthemums #hotandspicy #chillies https://www.instagram.com/p/B3MSwgXBI9j/?igshid=1lph1rkqflvk3

I love it when I get my parcel of 100% organic cotton clothing samples from @doc__cotton … it’s Christmas and Birthday and special surprises all rolled into one lovely day. Here’s a glimpse of the last one I got in the post … the labels tell me who handmade that particular piece, how wonderful is that? * I’ll slowly be taking photos of these (oh and ironing, ouch) and putting them up for sale at the shop, take a peek at the ones that are already up there by clicking here: http://bit.ly/MBDocCotton or the link in my profile! Enjoy … * Blogged at: http://bit.ly/ChilliesBlack _________________________________________ * Or go straight over to get one for yourself or a loved one at: http://bit.ly/ChilliesBlackTee or click the links in the profile. _________________________________________ * #marianablackdesigns #floatinglemonsgifts #simplyimperfectlife #marianablack #doccotton #organicclothing #sustainableclothing #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #ecofriendly #handmade #madeintheuk #giftguide #giftideas #consciousawareness #keeperculture #ethicalfashion #giftstotreasure #organictshirt #patterndesign https://www.instagram.com/p/B2wcWNQB5Av/?igshid=20x8qornx7ik

Hot and Spicy Chillies in watercolour, against a black background, on a 100% organic cotton tee-shirt … playful, casual with jeans, or elegant with a black jacket and heels — what’s not to love about it?! I know I know, I shouldn’t be so proudly showing off my creations, but there’s a tinge of humility there I promise. Can’t believe that I’ve found products that I love placing my designs on as they’re organic, ethically made, eco-friendly and sustainable … thank you @doc__cotton ❤️! * Blogged at: http://bit.ly/ChilliesBlack _________________________________________ * Or go straight over to get one for yourself or a loved one at: http://bit.ly/ChilliesBlackTee or click the links in the profile. _________________________________________ * #marianablackdesigns #floatinglemonsgifts #simplyimperfectlife #marianablack #doccotton #organicclothing #sustainableclothing #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #ecofriendly #handmade #madeintheuk #giftguide #giftideas #consciousawareness #keeperculture #ethicalfashion #giftstotreasure #organictshirt #hotandspicy #playfulfashion #watercolourchillies #patterndesign #cheekytshirt https://www.instagram.com/p/B2jRVN1BBTU/?igshid=ybftmgsn36rb

August week 3 spread. Went for a stronger, brighter feel with richer colours this time, still trying to keep somewhat to the orange-green theme! I’m still a bit behind I know ... the wrists are getting stronger but I’m being extra careful as it takes time for them to properly heal. . . Painted into my @scribblesthatmatter journal using @schmincke_official watercolours, @escoda_brushes and @staedtleruk fineliners. . . . #simplyimperfectlife #simplyimperfectbujo #bujo #bulletjournal #bujoaddict #bujocommunity #bujolove #bujojunkies #bulletjournaladdict #bulletjournalart #bulletjournalers #bulletjournalcommunity #bulletjournaling #creativelife #planneraddict #planwithme #bulletjournalss #thejournalcuration #theartofbujo #scribblesthatmatter #scriblsquad #schminckewatercolor #escodabrushes #staedtleruk #staedtler #showmeyourplanner #augustweeklyspread #bujoaugust #weeklyspread #orange #green #heliconia #birdofparadise https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RikBAh_sI/?igshid=14ydrto5zmyg0
