Indigo's design is called Zentangle. It is a new way of drawing patterns that relax and challenge the eye. The colors are inspired by the ocean and the base incorporates barnacles.
DID YOU KNOW?
Seven species of sea turtles inhabit the world’s oceans: Kemp’s ridley, olive ridley, hawksbill, loggerhead, green, leatherback , and flatback. Each species inhabits U.S. waters with the exception of the flatback sea turtle.
All species are protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). To this day, no species has recovered enough to be completely removed from the ESA and some populations continue to decline.
