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.

Coulson Macleod Goes All Wintry

Our latest col­lec­tion, ‘Winter Trees’ is now online to buy at Coulson Macleod

Thick Blows My Frosty Breath Abroad’

Blow, Blow Thou Winter Wind’

The Roar of Trees and Crack of Branches’

Freeze, Freeze Thou Bit­ter Sky’

We’ve hand­made the frame and pan­elled back­board from reclaimed antique Vic­torian roof tim­bers, the same tim­bers that we use for our ‘Zodiac’ frames, because they are just so gor­geous. The planks all vary in size, so no piece is identical.

We then hand paint the boards and over-print it with dis­tressed image and typography.

Winter Trees’ is unlim­ited in print quantity.
