Calico
The very first “fabric” design I ever made, Blue Calico was created to match a skirt I owned in the late 1990s. Though the skirt is long gone, I continue to use this pattern in my work. It was the starting point for the entire body of tile-able fabric-like designs that make up the current Polka Dot Cottage aesthetic.

Strata
This design features irregular layers of all of the colors in the color scheme. It’s perfect for small items like stud earrings and thin channel bangle bracelets, but still has enough visual interest to be used in larger pieces.
