BLOG - Faux Bois

Lately I've had faux bois on the brain. I am working to create my own so I've been looking at tons of images. Here's a few that caught my fancy along the way. The cakes have to be my favorite!

We are busy working on our new collection of fabrics and home accessories. Recently I have been inspired by natural textures and patterns as well as beautiful decorative papers. These are not final designs but rather a glimpse at the process.

Faux Bois is very popular right now and I thought it would be fun to create a new twist on the use of wood grains in textiles and papers. 

Inspiration Image above and two variations below.

Trifon has recently introduced me to the wonderful possibilities of decorative papers. These papers can be found at many art supply stores and he seems to get the best things from New York Central art supply.  Below is a paper I found online. The second image below is my interpretation of this design.

I love  the image below. It reminds me of a painting my father gave me by the artist Paul Jenkins.  The colors are just so rich!! This design inspired the final picture below. I can't wait for the new fabric samples to arrive!
