A handmade screen print of a two slightly angry looking Lions (with beautiful flowing manes). They're sitting holding on to flags, fluttering in the wind - all on an illustrated matchbox.
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 9 colours, each printed individually by hand: bright pink, pink, bright red, orange, yellow, orangey brown, blue, 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.
