April 2012: we're really happy to have launched Animals as a DIY border (recently featured in Elle Decor) - who knew it was possible to re-invent the border tastefully!?  It just sort of happened, they marched off around the room in a line with such purpose we had to print it.  Animals is entirely hand-drawn, depicting 52 animals and each one took about four days to draw so John had his work cut out in 2011 - this paper has to be the only one of its kind, it's taken over a year to design!  The wallpaper version will be out in a few weeks, we've just completed the layout after much reshuffling (a real feat to capture the movement and animation in each creature whilst maintaining a pleasing overall repeat pattern) and the beautiful gravure rollers are being cut - a new method for us and as close to photographic as traditional rollers get, perfect for highly detailed artworks like Animals

 

And whilst John's been breaking world records in his spare time, we also took our first incongruous step into the world of soft things, as happened upon in a Spring dream - a limited edition sexy boudoir pillow with Royal connections to keep you company in style, like a faithful teddy! We'll work with the guys at Wandsworth Prison (through Fine Cell Work) on more cushions in the future, it's a total joy to stumble across them, a really inspiring scheme

 

We've just put out a new She colourway too, a sort of happy accident with some buckets of paint:  Hot Leather Sunset. It's a gorgeous iridescent gold/red tone that changes colour as you walk past and has a slinky leather texture - it's in stock and you can order samples (we'll shoot some better photos of it soon)

 

Thanks to you who send us photos of their wallpaper projects - keep them coming, can't get enough of your downstairs loos and hallways

 

WATCH THIS SPACE

(....but measure it first though - you don't want too much wastage, and by the time you've mixed the paste and fiddled around with trestle tables and hunky decorators, the last thing you want is to have got the dimensions wrong)

 

Love & Paste
