Decorative Sunday

English designer Marthe Armitage (b. 1930) made a successful career of designing and manufacturing decorative wallpaper originally from handmade linocuts. Her designs have been featured in exhibitions, films, and documentaries. After studying at the Chelsea School of Art, Armitage began designing and hand printing linocut wallpaper designs in the 1950s. Her techniques moved to lithography, offset, and finally after 2018 to digital processes. The images shown her, including three original linocuts, are from her article "Patterns from Lino" in Matrix 11, Winter 1991, pp. 81-89, in which Armitage discusses her practice, evolutions in her methods, and her homage to William Morris. Today she is represented by the wallpaper design company Hamilton Weston. Armitage is a member and a former Master of the venerable Art Workers' Guild, which had its origins in the late 19th-century Arts and Crafts Movement.

These images of Marthe Armitage designs were snagged randomly from the Interwebs.

Matrix, printed at John and Rosalind Randle’s Whittington Press in Risbury, Herefordshire, England, is a donation from our late friend Jerry Buff.

The diagram for the classic Origami Goat, with a twist to make its horns curve ! It's from this video by by Origami Word, but it seems to be a pretty old/intemporal design that a lot of people have made. I could not find a diagram online so I made one.

(If you make her in yellow/orangy-yellow, then decorate her with red ribbons, you can make your own origami gävlebocken ! )

ROLLER-PRINTED PASTE PAPERS

Most paste papers are done freehand with paper, a starch paste, pigments, and range of brushes and tools to make the designs. In the early 1970s, noted American fine-press printer Henry Morris of Bird & Bull Press devised a method of making paste paper designs using hand-cut rubber hand-rollers. In 1975, he printed and published a manual on his process entitled Roller-Printed Paste Papers of Bookbinding, printed in an edition of 215 copies on his own handmade paper at the Bird & Bull Press in North Hills, Pennsylvania. Shown here are original paste-paper sample included in the book. Morris writes:

A few years ago a friend showed me how to make simple paste papers, and this led to further investigation into this most interesting type of decorated aper, I was intrigued by the the attractive three-dimensional effect and by the seemingly endless variations that are possible.

Our copy is another donation from the estate of our friend Dennis Bayuzick.

Волшебство зимних праздниках в потрясающей коллекции красочных иллюстраций Таши Тюдор.

Таша Тюдор, урожденная Старлинг Берджесс (28 августа 1915 года - 18 июня 2008 года) - американская художница и писательница, ставшая знаменитой благодаря своим детским книгам и образу жизни в стиле викторианской эпохи. Ей захотелось жить в 1830 году, и она своими руками построила этот мир вокруг себя.Она одевалась в длинные платья викторианской эпохи, носила фартук и чепец, топила плиту дровами и носила воду из колодца. Вставала рано, доила коз, делала сыр и взбивала масло, собирала яйца, пекла хлеб и печенье, варила варенье. И каждый день устраивала послеобеденный чай для детей и друзей, за которым всегда рассказывали интересные истории. Но главное, она рисовала, писала книжки, мастерила игрушки, всевозможные поделки, выращивала цветы и необычные растения.

 Рисовать Таша начала с раннего детства. В юности она писала маленькие рассказы и сама их иллюстрировала. Училась в Бостонской школе изящных искусств. За свою долгую жизнь художница проиллюстрировала порядка 100 книжек для детей, часть из которых написала сама, а также множество праздничных открыток. Таша Тудор рисовала в основном акварельными красками по бумаге и картону. Ее рисунки привлекают своей многофигурностью и проработкой деталей, милыми пасторальными сценками и праздничными сюжетами. 

The magic of the winter holidays in this stunning collection of colorful illustrations by Tasha Tudor.

Tasha Tudor, born Starling Burgess (August 28, 1915 – June 18, 2008) was an American artist and writer who became famous for her children's books and Victorian lifestyle. She wanted to live in 1830, and she built this world around herself with her own hands. She dressed in long Victorian dresses, wore an apron and a bonnet, heated the stove with wood and carried water from the well. She got up early, milked the goats, made cheese and churned butter, collected eggs, baked bread and cookies, and made jam. And every day she hosted afternoon tea for children and friends, at which interesting stories were always told. But most importantly, she drew, wrote books, made toys, all kinds of crafts, grew flowers and unusual plants.

Tasha began drawing in early childhood. In her youth, she wrote short stories and illustrated them herself. She studied at the Boston School of Fine Arts. During her long life, the artist illustrated about 100 children's books, some of which she wrote herself, as well as many holiday cards. Tasha Tudor painted mainly with watercolors on paper and cardboard. Her drawings attract with their multi-figure and detailed elaboration, cute pastoral scenes and holiday stories.
