Stamped Patterns

Stamps provide an interesting way to create repeating patterns on floorcloths. Stars, pineapples, and other interesting shapes are repeated using a traditional stamping technique. Stamps are designed and cut at the studio. Motifs are carefully cut out of poly foam and are mounted on blueboard for a light, durable version of the old wooden block prints. The stamps are painted and then pressed onto the canvas surface, leaving a textured image on the background color.

These stamps create a soft, handmade pattern giving an overall texture which works very well with period furnishings.

Add sponging for an aged effect and a border to define the space.

Stenciled Designs

Stenciled patterns in a wide variety of colors applied to a lighter background create traditional designs which are fitting in all kinds of rooms. At Canvasworks, new stencils are cut for each stenciled floorcloth project. This allows us to make them to any size and work them into the geometry of the design. Designing is our forte and we are always open to new stencil-design ideas. We specialize in creating repeating patterns and stencils are an essential ingredient for that process. Stencil design possibilities are endless. Suggest any motif for Canvasworks to develop.
