Lull’d in these Flowers

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lull’d in these flowers with dances and delight.

~ William Shakespeare

Spoonflower found this weeks design challenge inspiration in William Shakespeare’s play, A Midsummer nights dream. With such an abundant source of imagery, they decided to limit the palette. Maybe this was to keep the designers heads from exploding.

So this is what we were given. Midsummer palette

And this is what I came up with. My entry is sample #1 the dark, solid background. For those of you who are interested, voting begins Thursday June 20th and ends on the 25th. I am so thankful to you for taking the time to search through and find my design to place your vote!
