A handmade screen print of a (made up) vintage matchbox... featuring a cat in a hurry, perched on a horse drawn carriage as it races who knows where as the sun sets in a pink sky, the moon rising as the stars come out.
It's printed onto beautiful gilt edged card (800gsm - which means it’s very very thick!) so it’s definitely an object to treasure. The corners are rounded. The image is made up of 10 colours, each printed individually by hand: sunset sky pink, orangey red, orangey brown, bright pink, bright red, cat fur orange, bright bright orange, bubblegum pink, sparkly gold and black.
Dimensions: 12.5 x 17.5 cm.
Edition of 75, numbered, titled and signed.
Charlotte Farmer is a screen printer and illustrator with a love of colour and fine detail. She studied at Saint Martins, gaining a masters in Communication Design, specialising in illustration. She lives and works in the pretty city of Bath with frequent trips to Bristol for screen printing at Spike Print Studio. Charlotte's favourite things include (not necessarily in this order): drawing, screen printing, super bright colour combinations, making maps, coffee, collecting a variety of brush pens for hand lettering and a very spoilt cat called Margo. The screen prints she creates often involve collections of things from snowglobes, pottery figures or ice creams to tropical birds and animals. She loves collections because of the way they bring together unexpected combinations of objects and characters.
