Can tiny diatoms make a big splash?
Surface design Inspired by the strange and wonderful world of diatoms, the little glass-bodied organisms that live in ponds, rivers and seas, the Diatomaceous pattern collection draws its shapes and colors from phase contrast and dark field microscopy photographs. The hand-drawn figures lend an organic feeling to the precise geometric shapes of natural diatoms. When combined with washes of watercolor backgrounds, the effect is fun, breezy, and suitable for all manner of applications including apparel, home furnishings, paper goods, and packaging.
