The inspiration behind the design was when Sarah stumbled upon the ferns growing at the waters edge of a lake at Scotney Castle in Kent. She was struck by the vibrant greens against the still millpond. I love the texture & curls of the fern leaf or bracken & evokes memories of running wild in the woods in Staffordshire as a young child. Made from digitally printed heavy panama cotton, printed in small runs in a print studio in Sussex by Dan & Louise.
