Now my studio is nearly complete Im able to hang my tjaps and wallpaper blocks properly on custom made racks on the wall. Problem is my collection is larger than my wall space. Some of the square tjaps are now stored like this in my spare wall hung units and the free form and larger ones - mostly the big florals and pairs are wall hung.
And of course my love affair with wallpaper blocks is ever present...
These beautiful antique blocks are massive in scale, some are over 2 ft in width alone and are all intricate metal pins and lines set into a huge slab of wood - oak was commonly used.
They are the hardest to print with but often the most beautiful patternwise. Im making a small batch of special large fabric hampers to stock in my shop at Christmas (yes Im thinking that far) which I will use these blocks for.
