Natural chintz?


Chintz is the name given to a completely, or mainly, floral fabric. The origins of the this type of decorative textile, and the word that describes it originates in Hyderabad, India. It was appropriated and modified by western designers and has drifted in and out of fashion over the years. As we walked by a small stream under trees and bushes I saw clusters of leaves against browns and blues that reminded me of chintz so I took this shot.
