Hi there and welcome to our Tropical Fusion BlogHop!! Our BlogHop is a collaboration of over 40 international designers and spread out over 4 days, giving you plenty of time to discover all of the amazing talent in our fabulous group. This year we’ve chosen an exciting tropical theme which is also a big trend in this year’s market, and have incorporated Pantone’s Color of the Year, “Radiant Orchid”, into our designs.

You’ve probably just visited Lisa Deighan’s fabulous blog. After you’ve checked out my tropical dreams, please scroll down to get the link for the next blog of designer Lisa Rivas, who also designed this year’s logo!!

This is my main pattern, “Paradiso”. I love bold color and shapes!!

“The Animal in Me”. 

“Groovy Vines”

Before every collection, I do LOTS of sketches and explore ideas and motifs that I want to use.

Thanks so much for stopping by our Tropical Fusion BlogHop 2014!! I hope that you enjoyed looking at my collection. Please “hop” on over to the blog of Lisa Rivas by clicking HERE!
