Zou-e the Elephant - Revisited

It's been over 2 years since I designed my first animal image for my business. I called the image Zou-e and it was so well received. The original design was an abstract image of a baby elephant holding on to its mother's tail as they do in the wild.

So, why the name Zou-e? Well, Zou in Japanese means elephant thus formed the name.

I played around with this design a while. A few earlier versions ultimately were ruled out until I finally felt good about the Zou-e design. I simply showed the design to my husband and when he said he really liked it I knew it was the one to go with. He's not an artist like I am, but he does have an eye for good design.

After the initial blue Zou-e which I appliqued on dark brown fabric, I decided to offer the design in varying colors - pink, green, white, lavendar

It's nice to reflect on a design that launched my little baby business. Although other designs have become more popular I truly have a connection with my Zou-e design.

I'm Getting Coordinated!

I have added pillows to my product line which coordinate with my modern baby blankets. I've had a few requests for these and so here it is! I am excited to also offer sets/combo deals. Now on my Etsy site (www.jgdesigns.etsy.com) you can buy a baby blanket and pillow for $60.00. It's a good deal because my blanket alone costs $50 and the pillow alone costs $16.00. The pillows are available in Elephant (blue, pink, green) and Baby Sea Turtles.

Also, I am looking to add brand new designs / items to my product line very soon!
