“Hi Lilla,
I was watching a Dutch children’s tv show (Uit-me-kaar which means ‘take it
apart’) where three girls were taking apart a washing machine. Two of the
girls were wearing dresses from Dutch department store HEMA with floral
prints on them I designed. I took some pictures of the tv screen and wanted
to show you…

Best wishes,
Silvia”

Friday: New Patterns by Helen Dardik

“Hi Lilla!,

I have been receiving some fan mail lately which is great! A while ago I met someone by accident who told me she was a big fan of my work. She had even painted some of my characters from a bedding design on the walls of her son’s nursery. She showed me some pictures and I couldn’t believe my eyes! I have attached a few pictures so you can take a look…

Best wishes,
Silvia”

This a picture of the mural she sent me.

This is a detail picture of part of the mural.

This is another picture of part of the mural.

This is the original design on bedding for Dutch department store HEMA.
