A few words from Tula Pink
“Many of my friends are starting to have babies and I find myself thinking of
all of the things that I wish for them as they began their lives and how I could
communicate that to them. Historically, the Bee was often used as a symbol
of wisdom and fertility and the honeycombs that they build and live in were
symbolic of the heart. This seemed like the perfect place to start when I
began drawing Bumble.
Bumble is a small collection of prints designed for the baby, or more
accurately, the mommy on behalf of the baby. High octane pastels were
placed on backdrops of dove gray to create an elegant contradiction of
whimsy and sophistication. I hope that Bumble can become a conversation
about wisdom, love and family while looking classically playful for all who find
it in their homes and cribs. Join me in celebrating Bumble and extract the
sweetness of life!”

About The Designer
Marjolein’s fascination with nature started when she was only a few
years old in the garden of her parents’ house in Netherlands.
Her bond with nature, coupled with the urge to share it with
others, motivated Marjolein early on to start drawing.
Since the early 90s, people in the USA have taken note of Marjolein’s work.
Working with several companies in the States has opened up a new world
for Marjolein as well. Despite the enormous size of the country, Marjolein
immediately looked for the details in nature, “unknown birds, new flowers,
unfamiliar butterflies – “I had to start all over, I had to look up everything!
And now I want to share the beauty of American nature with my friends
in Holland and show people in America how beautiful Dutch nature is.”
