Here’s an update on this pattern we’ve got in the works…

Oh man, who doesn’t like antlers? we at Farmidable sure do.  What you see here is a new pattern in production; and, word to the wise, if you don’t like antlers: too bad.

So we’ve got another new illustrated pattern coming up the pipeline called Pine Boughs. It’s gonna be a good one so check back for updates and to see what else is comming.

Spring is here! Thought we would take a moment to revisit a few of our patterns that are fit for the season. Check them out and others in our gallery.

Dunford Wood is an amazing bunch that makes all their wallpapers by hand black printing. The irregularities of hand block printing add a human touch of imperfection that makes their work very intriguing. Maybe what is so great is that they use a process most people can use at home if they had the resolve to stick with it. It’s not easy printing a 24′ x 12′ area with a 6″x 12″ block. Check out their site to learn more about their production process.

It’s finished and posted in the gallery. Check it out!

Bit of a sneak peek at another in a series of Japanese woodblock print and samurai-inspired patterns. Really long informative page on the history and process of Japanese woodblock printing here. Another shorter option here.

We’ve got a new pattern up in the gallery. Check out these great blocks of wood in all shapes and sizes (if you consider a rectangle to be “all shapes,” that is…). Stick this up on your desktop and revel in memories of woodshop in Middle School—ahhh, can’t you just smell the sawdust…?

Found: more whales, in this case by Geoff McFetridge via LA-based Walnut Walpapers, via Dan Funderburgh for 12 oz Prophet. Whew. Anyway, check out this great take on frolicking whales done up on beautiful wallpaper, and check out all the other stuff at Walnut Wallpapers, cause it looks like they’ve got a lot to offer.

New pattern in the works; looks a bit boring at the moment, perhaps, but be assured, this will be an exercise in subtlety and taste. Oh, and btw, be sure to comment on this post or any other to be entered into our comment contest! Time’s almost up!

Our new pattern celebrating the spirit of whalery is up and available in our gallery! Go there, download it, and share in the distinct joy to be had when gazing upon happy frolicking whales.
