Hot Pink Southwestern Tissue Paper from Dismal

Hot pink western southwestern tissue paper with mustard yellow, black, white and red. This is a design from the Dismal world available here on a tissue paper; perfect for art, decoupage, home ware crafting and custom design work as well as high end gift wrapping. Dismal is a fictional world from the novel The Heartless Ranch Is Haunted, the first novel in the This Is Dismal series by Nebraska author and designer Bunny Hammond. You can read the story by downloading the free e-book copy, it's available with the major e-book distributors, or by ordering a paperback copy. This tissue paper is available for readers who want to bring home a bit of the story for their own endeavours and also for western design enthusiasts about to discover the vibrantly patterned cowboy world of Dismal. This particular design is all about confidence and movement. It has a bold graphic style that could work in free-spirited, colour-heavy Western decor with a bohemian twist, ranch boho. You could take it into rodeo glam, reminiscent of a rodeo queen's fringe jacket or silk scarf or even a stage backdrop. And it has the energy of a tex-mex fiesta, the hot pink and earthy tan feel festive, evoking vintage Tex-Mex restaurant aesthetics and border-town art. It's a very happy print. Or you could take into a psychedelic frontier aesthetic with the swirling arrows and high-contrast colours, it has a trippy, slightly surreal Western feel. You could go graphic folk western with this pattern. The bold symbols and symmetry feel like folk-art cowboy culture meets modern design. Or you could go 1970's southwestern revival, the colour blocking and stylised shapes evoke retro desert palettes from ’70s Western fashion and interiors. You could take this pattern into the neon rodeo aesthetic, it feels a little like glowing rodeo signage, vintage fairgrounds, and electric cowboy aesthetics. Bunny's personal favourite aesthetic interpretation would be taking this design in a cowgirl barbie core direction. The hot pink and tan balance girly and rugged, fitting perfectly into the Western-meets-Barbie trend. And of course you could do western maximalism very well with this print. It's a bright, playful, high-contrast take on classic cowboy motifs, perfect for bold statement interiors. Or you could even do desert pop, a vibrant take on desert tones, mixing warm earthy hues with high-energy colour pops. Regardless of how you use this tissue paper or how interpret it into your own design sensibilities, Bunny hopes you enjoy your own little piece of the Dismal world.
