Desert Bandanas by Jenna Tomasello

Gorgeous bandanas inspired by the Sonoran desert! Screen printed here in Tucson, each bandana features a different design by local artist Jenna Tomasello, originally painted in acrylic paint on paper. The cotton canvas bandannas measure 22"x22", sewn by the fair trade, women’s co-op, DouglaPrietaWorks, in Agua Prieta, Sonora.

Red - "Fillies & Falcons" - The Fillies & Falcons bandana is illustrated with Appaloosa horses and soaring falcons.
