What a Wonderful World – A Fabric Tribute to Our Beautiful Planet

photos KELLEY SHEENAN location STUDIO SAGO model KATY BEDFORD

Trees of green. Red roses too. When it comes to our beautiful planet, there’s plenty to celebrate. It offers bountiful inspiration for budding artists, making the call of the wild hard to ignore.

Heeding that call, we teamed up with our good friends at Spoonflower for a Design Challenge, asking their community to create a tribute to what they loved most about Mother Earth. Here, we step into the worlds of our winners – frolick in a sweet summer garden bursting with berries or meander through a moonlit forest with woodland friends. Hosting over one million designs from a global community of independent artists, the opportunities for world-building on Spoonflower.com are endless. Shop these designs and check out the rest of the entries here!
