Scallops by the Seashore / Mariana by Rachel Hauer

Mariana fabric collection is designed by Rachel Hauer for FreeSpirit Fabrics. When Rachel Hauer was young, she saw a documentary about the deepest part of the ocean; the Mariana trench. This image of sea life always stuck with her. In this collection, Mariana, imagine that you are in your submarine looking through a window and discovering life in the vast ocean. As you work your way down, the background becomes darker, fading from light blues and mints to a bold black. You can see familiar faces, like horseshoe crabs and seashells, and look closely at plankton and lantern fish. The ocean is always a place of wonder and discovery, you'll find something new and exciting with Mariana!   Rachel Hauer is an artist and tattooer. Rachel has a BFA in printmaking and art history. Rachel’s work is inspired by ornament, natural history, etching and engraving, and Americana, with a focus on textiles. Rachel has been featured in Timeout New York, The New York Times, NPR’s Marketplace and others. R
