A Hint of Spring

Butterfly Effect.

A new Contempo Studio collection by Michele D'Amore

Butterfly Effect  (but-ter-fly ef-fect ).

      (1) Adverb. To feel free. To take flight. To imagine. To create something new.

      (2) Noun. A new collection of incredibly beautiful prints from Michele D’Amore and Contempo.

Modern prints. Manhattan Style.

Elegant butterflies, created by painterly brushstrokes.
 Round, hand-sketched blooms with watercolor layers.

Cool textured coordinates.

This line is rich with contrast--shades of blue versus bright colors, soft brushstrokes versus geometric shapes; large versus medium butterfly and bloom prints--all rendered with Michele's artistic touch.

Brushstroke details on each butterfly's wing:

And on the blooms:

A unique stripe that combines the various motifs in the line:
