This was a busy week for Paola Prints. We’re getting a print order ready for two new designs and have almost finished a third. The Blues and Sheer Escapism are being uploaded tomorrow for print. Happily, two are already sold. Sheer Escapism and Caroline owe the origin of their surface design to the humble lily pad.
