I’ve always loved floral prints, but my love for anything floral seems to quadruple in the spring and summer. Katharine Watson creates some incredibly beautiful floral patterns – all carved by hand on linoleum blocks! Katharine created these invitations for a couple with a shared love of nature – first drawing and carving the floral border, then letterpress printing the entire design. So pretty!

From Katharine: This invitation was created for a couple that loves the outdoors. Emma is a yoga teacher and Paul is a runner, and they wanted to translate this love of nature into their invitations. I created a floral design for them in a deep turquoise, that brought to mind an image of the outdoors without being too literal.

The floral design was hand-carved from a linoleum block, using one block for the invitation cards and another for the envelope liner. The suite was then printed on a Chandler and Price [letterpress] printing press, and tied together with twine to finish off the natural look. 

 

So beautiful!  Thanks Katharine!
