horse heads

horse heads by hannah reed from usa

designer's own words:

After doing a little research, it didn't take long for me to realize that horses and equestrian sports were a very popular theme among Hermes ties. I really enjoyed working on this one because horses are one of my favorite things to draw. I hadn't seen any ties that used just horse heads, so I decided to go that route and see what I could do. I figured a simplified and colorful version of a horse head would look the best and create the most interesting pattern. The heads vary between three different colors and are placed in a sporadic fashion. I kept the blaze white on all the heads so that there would be some continuity in the pattern.
