Paris Shopping Trip Pattern

Following a shopping trip and break to Paris I took the drawings I'd been working on in my sketchbook - from designer shoes and bags to French cars from passport to sunglasses and created this fun kitsch conversational pattern.  Vive La Paris!  Another version made its way to Society6 in all manor of accessories and prints.

ANGRY QUEEN BEES PATTERN QU

QUEEN BEES PATTERN SOCIETY 6 ACCESSORIES

So the travels continue and from Iban culture and its people to the world of bees with this new developing idea I'm toying with.  Their wings are so delicate and bodies so strong ..... wonderful.  I wanted a sharp contrast to the natural elements of the bees and went for striking orange and a triangle.  Perhaps I'll make the triangles solid .....  you'll be able to see if you pop to society6

Does anyone else think that ikat influenced pattern have a bohemian feel to them?  Perhaps it's something to do with where they traditionally started from such as South America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East - all countries with strong traditions in textiles and pattern.  My ikat range of over 5 co-ordinated patterns are available on society6 and I've highlighted this ikat hearts wall clock as an example.
