Carnival Butterfly Baby Journal | Black Joy & Queer Art

When I designed this pattern, I was remembering marching in the streets to loud Calypso music or dancing to the magical iron of the steel pan. In my remembrances I see beautiful Brown skin gals beaded, baubled and bedazzling. Ready to see and be seen. I love the Caribbean where the days and nights are filled with all the things that make life wort living: dancing, good food, good friends, and good drink. Be ready to dance in the streets. Carnival Butterfly Baby draws on the colorful, over the top pageantry, of the Caribbean.
