Penguin Tears:
It's the name of the print pictured on the blouse below. Another collaboration with my husband, Tomory.
Made for Spring...it will definitely be featured on an organic cotton sateen skirt (very similar to this style but a little shorter for warmer weather).

I love that from a distance the print appears subtle and grey, but it is actually composed of tiny colorful squares.

How I wore it today- with Steven Alan Pants,
J.Crew jacket, Comey boots, Kathryn Bentley/ Dream Collective necklace & ERMIE Ave. 51 Silk Scarf, D.S. & Durga Grapefruit perfume (they make amazing scents).
In case you were wondering, this is why Tomory called the print "Penguin Tears."

what a fun print. i love how different it looks close-up, too. the top drapes beautifully on you.
I love the cut of the top you made with "Penguin Tears"; the drape is beautiful with your subtle pattern. I have to say I feel a lot better knowing the origin of the pattern's name so I don't have to feel bad about a sad penguin; that is one of my favorite cartoons!
Beautiful printed! Cheerful and delicate!
Amazing! Any chance you could explain a little more about the process from drawing to actual material?? How is it done? I'm so interested and curious.
Thanks everyone.
@leeleelulu: the fabrics are digitally printed. I basically send a jpeg file to the printer- you can read more about the basic process here:http://www.trueup.net/fabric-study/digital-fabric-printing-service-guide-and-giveaway/

Gah! I love that it's called Penguin Tears!
beautiful top and great print!
I always love the way you combine prints when you wear your pieces. And your use of color! I get compliments every time I wear my magic marker shirt dress by the way :)
Wow, cool moire-like pattern. Love how it looks grayscale from far away. Like two shirts in one!
Nice! That necklace looks pretty great wit it too.

Looks beautiful! Can't wait for that scarf to be available in your shop!
that fabric is beautiful..would be so great in a silk crepe too. you guys make a great team.
Ursula,
Just ordered some silk crepe in this print!
The blouse that is pictured is in silk crepe.
I didn't think I was really going to use this print much,
But since posting this I've changed my mind :)
