In my previous life, I spent a lot of time traveling from work site to work site. It is not nearly as glamourous as it sounds. Most of what I experienced was in an airport, hotel or in the car leading from one place to another.
It wasn’t all bad. I did get to see some beautiful places along the highways in the US and elsewhere. Native landscapes always fascinated me on these trips. I especially like the flowers. I am sure this doesn’t surprise anyone who follows my work!
Desert flowers, aka, succulents can be quite adorable, even if they can be a bit prickly. These succulents were the inspiration for the Cactus Rose pattern. The foundation piecing mirrored the radial symmetry of these flowers.
