Lalla Etsy Spotlight: Persian Garden


Toronto-based graphic artist and blogger Afsaneh has a whole bag of tricks.


Her etsy shop Persian Garden sells prints of her modern-meets-Persian artwork while she stocks her second shop Joo Joo with whimsical and diminutive snail, bird, and eggplant magnets and incense burners. Yes, eggplants. You've never seen a cuter aubergine, I swear.


But my favorites of her designs, after her lush cypres and pomegranate tree prints (which I really, really hope she'll make into a series of greeting cards), are her charmingly beautiful ladies attired in a mix of contemporary and by-gone Persian fashion layered atop subtle watercolors.


If you visit her graphic design website Riss Moon, you can see more of these lovely peris in flash animation - enchanting!
