Interpretative Labels

Label

I decided on an Art Deco style with a flapper woman in a cloche hat. Solid colors of black, pink, aqua, and yellow were chosen from a deco type print used for the parasol. To appear more Art Deco, I sliced a clam shell block into three parts and stylized a Dresden block.
