of July 2016. of my L'affascinante Ragazza design
This design, in another size, is my entry for the July 2016 Betabrand Challenge. The goal was to develop a design that was not what it seemed at first, i.e. which had hidden or disguised elements. If you are familiar with my Bella Nina Collection, or my Abstract Swirls & Spires Collection, you may recognize the section in this design which I used as a starting point for this new collection. I have named the design "L'affascinante Ragazza," Italian for "the fascinating girl." I began with a section of an abstract design I had done previously, and worked from that, in a style; in other words, I had no idea where I was going. I just kept following the creative urge. copyright Mary K Wykes July 7, 2016
