Field trip: Anthropologie


Wall treatment on 2nd floor

Wall by Vanessa Bell of the Bloomsbury group

Astrid chair Yum.

Took a field trip to the new Anthropologie store here in Toronto to get inspired for a new project I'm working on. (I look at the displays - not the clothes!) I particularly liked some of their wall treatments which looked very Bloomsbury inspired to me. The one included reminded me a lot of one of the walls that Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant painted in their famous Charleston farmhouse.
(fyi if you like these I recommend the book Charleston: A Bloomsbury House and Gardens written by Quentin Bell..
A great read.
I was also taken by the shop's Astrid chair with it's high back and super happy giant scarlet dahlias! As I mentioned before... how could someone feel sad sitting in this chair?

Inky Tuesday: Screening my teapot print



Visiting the lovely and talented Yasmine Louis who sometimes helps me make my screens.

Screens of some of Yasmine's new designs.

Putting ink on my screen

And lift - Ta da!

This is the inverse version - White teapot.

Production!

Interiors note: Note the kilmn underneath the prints. One of my favorite things.

Today I completed the 2 prints which I'll be donating to the Steven Lewis Foundation.
I screened smaller versions of my white and red japanese teapots.
