Winter Trees On Calico

Monday, December 5th, 2011

Coulson Macleod’s latest typo­graphic art. Three designs avail­able three ways.

print with reclaimed tim­ber frame

Calico print dimen­sions — 35cm x 35cm x 2.5cm
Reclaimed tim­ber frame dimen­sions — 55cm x 55cm x 6cm

calico print only

Calico print dimen­sions — 35cm x 35cm x 2.5cm

print with painted MDF mount

Print dimen­sions — 35cm x 35cm x 5cm

We’ve wrapped a block in nat­ural calico (unbleached cot­ton), which has been washed by hand then dried flat to give a tex­tured ‘crease’ effect. Over­prin­ted it with a winter tree image and text.

Then moun­ted them three dif­fer­ent ways, to give you plenty of choice…

Print Only. Backed with a thin sheet of MDF. A saw­tooth hanger and pro­tec­tion pads are fixed to the rear so the print is ready for hanging.

Print with Painted MDF Mount. A block of 2.5cm thick MDF is hand-painted grey and moun­ted to the rear of the calico print. A saw­tooth hanger and pro­tec­tion pads are fixed to the rear so the print is ready for hanging.

Print with Reclaimed Tim­ber Frame. The frame is hand­made using reclaimed antique Vic­torian roof tim­bers. The inside of the frame is hand-painted in grey and the calico print is then moun­ted in the frame, and a hanging mech­an­ism attached to the rear so it’s ready for hanging. We pur­pose­fully retain any defects in the tim­ber to add to the charm and char­ac­ter of the piece. These can include knot holes, nail holes, warps and water marks, so each art­work is totally unique.

Two New ‘Winter Tree’ Prints

Friday, March 4th, 2011

Our very pop­u­lar ‘Winter Tree’ col­lec­tion of typo­graphic prints has now just got a little bit bigger…

Our ‘Winter Tree’ prints fea­ture a hand­made frame and pan­elled back­board made from reclaimed wood — Vic­torian roof tim­bers no less. Paint is applied by hand and then over-printed with dis­tressed image and typo­graphy. So very Coulson Macleod.

Our ‘Winter Tree’ col­lec­tion of six art­works has an unlim­ited print quantity.

We pride ourselves on the fact that the planks used to make the print vary in size and that we keep any defects in the tim­ber to add to the charm and char­ac­ter. We love knot holes, nail holes, warps and water marks. And we know our cus­tom­ers do too.

Winter Trees: Norwegian Style

Thursday, January 6th, 2011

Just stumbled across this gor­geous Nor­we­gian blog. Jill lives in Ber­gen, and although she’s not an interior designer, her home, like her blog, is so beau­ti­fully styled. And Jill’s lovely hus­band gave her one of our ‘Winter Tree’ prints for Christ­mas. Doesn’t it look happy in its new home?

The vintage-style print is ‘Thick Blows My Frosty Breath Abroad’ (pic­tured below)…

And just check out Jill’s New Year’s Eve table…

Our hand­made Winter Tree prints are made from reclaimed wood (the tim­ber star­ted out life as Vic­torian roof tim­bers to be pre­cise). We then white­wash the wood and over-print with a dis­tressed image and dis­tressed typo­graphy. Well it wouldn’t be a Coulson Macleod without some dis­tressed typo­graphy would it?
