I'm participating again in Spoonflower's fabric design contest. It's the 4th time so far. This week's theme is "tiki". Tikis are stone or wood totems carved by the Polynesians. And the tiki culture developed itself a lot in the past decades, on the extended theme of Tahiti, Polynesia, Hawaii, islands, tropics, pirates etc. The central point of the tiki culture remains the tiki bar of course. :-) So instead of drawing totems, I decided to draw parrots from Hawaii standing on a Plumeria tree. The plumeria flower is so beautiful! It is often found on Hawaiian patterns, along with hibiscus flowers. If you like my parrots and plumeria pattern, please vote for it!

Summer is almost there, the sun is shining outside, it's time to go play outside in parks or at school during recess! Here is a coloring page of a girl playing with a skipping rope (or jump rope or jumping rope if you live in the USA). It seems that the jump rope originated in Egypt or China, but I couldn't find a well documented confirmation. When, where and who invented the jumping rope?

This portrait of Louis XIV of France (also known as the Sun King) was painted by the painter Hyacinthe Rigaud in 1701. The greatest of all kings is featured with a long curly wig and clothed with a somptuous coronation costume and all the attributes of royalty and power: the sword of Charlemagne, the royal crown, and a scepter. This painting is now in the collection of the Louvres museum in Paris.

I perused many flowers catalogues to see if by any chance I could find a flower looking like the one I drew for Spoonflower's Fifties contest. The one that was the closest is the the osteospermum "Pink Whirls", a kind of daisy from Africa. But it wasn't close enough, so we decided to invent a name for this flower that we invented. And since Mother's Day is almost there (in France, Mother's Day is on a different day in almost all countries !), we opted for "Mom's Flower". A pretty name for this flower that has two sets of petals and a very nice heart in the middle. Color it, print it, cut it, and put it everywhere! :-)
