TREETOP TOWER PRINT!

Progress continues on a new woodblock print of a treetop lookout tower--due to hit our online shop tomorrow morning! Part of our latest LIFE OF LEISURE Series, this 12" x 9" print imagines a three story lookout station built up the trunk of a sturdy tree. Soft color will build in layers through the printing of the blocks above to create a gentle image of a stacking treehouse outpost. More soon!

A gently rounded door creaks open to reveal the glowing, day-lit interior of of this pleasant little tree room. A simple image bringing to mind the fantasies of youth and secret, special places of retreat and contemplation. A closed book rests on the knotted loop of an old tangled root. The texture of the inside of the tree rises up along the walls and flows like an undulating woven mat along the earthen floor. Printed in Mint Green + Honey Ochre on Ivory Somerset Paper.

"House Tree" was featured on Martha Stewart's Craft Dept. Blog in a how to about woodblock printing that Tugboat Printshop put together this past December, 2010.
