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.
