The Adventurers MAGIC!! created by MY Bear PAW! (magic)

some real "makers MAGIC",by the talented 

Jo Avery (aka My Bear Paw)!

*you can read all about this project over on her

blog, My Bear Paw

*now... i know i keep saying this, BUT I am gonna say it again...

every. single. time... i see something made from my fabric, 

 i am completely humbled.   like tears in my eyes humbled.

you see, i sit in the studio making

 and painting and then offering these paintings/images up to the world,

 but then YOU... all of you "makers", make these magical projects/objects

 out of my work and then my work becomes something bigger. 
something much more amazing...

like Jo's FANTASTIC quilt!
look at it!  i can hardly stand it.

 it knocks my socks off every single time
i see it.  imagine me sitting here with an ear to ear grin.
because that is me RIGHT NOW!

So thank you (JO)!  for the making and for the support,

and for the Joy you bring me (and the world), 

by what you create!  

it is amazing.

OOx, cori

*the fabric used is from The Adventurers Collection,

designed by me (Cori Dantini), and brought to life

by the fabulous company BLEND!

OH... i suppose i should also mention that

prints of all images used in this collection 

are available at my etsy shop!

The Adventurers, PRE-ORDER now!

The Adventurers, my latest collection of fabric

with BLEND is ready for pre-order!!!  maybe you want to

whisper in the ear of your local fabric store?

(hint hint!)

When my little guy henry truly was a little guy,

he asked me one morning why i didn't draw little boys?

and i hadn't even realized i wasn't!  for shame for shame!!!

It took 5 years but i finally got it done (in honor the

little guy henry once was).  a curious little dude out in the 

world dressing up and adventuring through his days.

take a look... 

insect love?

water ripples?

good old seeds!

doodle box...

making waves (most little guys do!)

crosshatch!

and of course BLEND has developed a lovely

quilt pattern to use.

here is what BLEND has to say about the collection...

Land, ho!  The Adventurers collection celebrates the 

explorer in all of us, whether you dream of the North Pole,

digging for pirate's treasure or playing with dinosaurs.  Ripple, wave,

crosshatch and seed patterns in a color palette

fit for a prince create perfect blenders for the artist's signature 

panel designs.

shipping August 2015!

couldn't have said it better myself.

to all the little adventurers in the world

this one is for you!!!
