I'm delighted to say that Katy Botanicals is launching a new design for February 2025 to welcome in the spring. Our new fabric design is hand painted and features Bee Orchids, Toad Flax, Leichtlinii, and bees of course. Bee Orchids are a tiny orchid native to the UK and are loved by many botanists as the blossoms mimic the round furry bottoms of bumble bees.
I originally created this design in partnership with the head gardeners at Horatio's Garden spinal unit garden charity, as part of their beautiful tea towel collection (hop over to the HG shop to see their latest offerings). The tea towel was very popular and we thought we could revisit it, change the scale and print the design onto a malty natural background. This way the original painting would be on a background that was more flexible and could be used in almost any interiors colour-scheme.
Our new creation is printed onto undyed linen here in the uk, with ecological and uv safe inks. The fabric is 135 cm wide and the vertical repeat is 50 cm deep. This linen cotton mix is 228gsm in weight and perfect for furnishing fabrics and great for uses such as curtains, blinds, cushion covers and tablecloths.
