This is a cute little baby blanket which uses imagery inspired by Native American style symbols.

To me, this blanket depicts a trek across the land of a guardian and child bear underneath a night sky. Throughout the pattern you will see various celestial bodies, sun, moon and stars. There is something about the scene that brings me peace and that I am almost intruding on the family time together. This blanket grew organically one day when I knew I wanted to use specific colours and a scene with bears has been playing on my mind for a while now. It took me just four days to design and create this blanket and I hope this work brings you as much joy as it did to me.
