Fish Paper Commission

A couple of weeks ago I received a surprise email from Cornwall from a potential customer seeking some of my 'fish wrapping paper'.

 Usually I print my paper in multiple colour-ways, resulting with about six sheets ever being exactly the same.This creates lots of choice but a big problem when someone wants several matching sheets. Luckily, although I had completed a long print run just before christmas I had not stripped the screens - printing just a few sheets of paper would have been un-economical in time and materials. After a quick further exchange of emails we were able to establish the particular colour combination needed and I was quickly able to reproduce what was needed.

The paper was used to line a traditional dresser and now provides the perfect background to a collection of Cornishware with its distinctive banded blue and white design within a kitchen with a fish theme.

What a great way to use my paper- it looks fabulous.

Fish paper is available to purchase from my Etsy shop- Nant Designs

Handprinted Gift Wrap

A new batch of screen printed papers- all in blues- some on blue paper- this mornings job is to start on some in red/yellow colour-ways  to complement these.
Three screens are used to make this design but there are all sorts of combinations as soon as you use transparent and opaque inks to mix and match.
