Chinese Grandmas on French Script

Once upon a time we lived in Hong Kong.

Our home faced the Tai Tam Reservoir in the steep hills of Tai Tam.

One day as I was walking along the reservoir, coming towards me were about twenty Chinese Grandmas.

 Each one wearing the customary pajama style outfits in vivid colors.

They each carried a colorful umbrella to shield them from the sun.


I  stopped in my tracks as I watched this beautiful scene. I had no camera, just my ability to memorize the moment.

Years later I sat down and painted two large paintings in watercolor.   I used Asian papers to recreate the vivid patterns. I had them framed. I still have one in my home, and the other one I gave to my best friend Judy.

The name of this fabric is called Chinese Grandmas on French Script, and is available for sale on my Spoonflower Shop.

When I saw that Spoonflower was offering a Cotton Silk fabric, I was able to make another dream come true. To make a silk scarf using my Chinese Grandma design. I reworked the design into two panels on French Script. It can be used as one large piece of fabric or cut into two panels.

  I am in the process of making a scarf, which I will share soon.

Now I can't wait to see other designs printed on this lovely fabric.
