'Terroir terraria on white': proofing swatch
'Terroir terraria on white': proofing swatch printed on basic combed cotton by Spoonflower. Chalk on paper. © Su Schaefer 2014
'Terroir' can be loosely translated as 'a sense of place' and the way certain qualities of a place are expressed in its products e.g., wine, coffee, and more recently, cheese (Wikipedia). Here I'm using 'terroir' to describe the fabulous red soils of desert Australia, and a 'product' of recent changes in artesian water storage levels which results in visually elegant (but sad to see) mature dead trees. These were a striking aspect of recent travels in the outback and called to me to work them into a design.

Also in decals and gift wrap.
Color check: The thread in the picture is Gutermann polyester col. 1 (off-white or pale cream).
