Floorcloth Friday! Pomegranates?

Last week I showed a photo of a floorcloth Theresa had been prepping for me. Today I put  the final details on it. Here it is on my table; just waiting for it’s final coats of polyurathene.

My mission was to represent pomegranates in a very simple way. The client didn’t want them to look like “balls”, but also didn’t want too much detail. So when I was shopping for Thanksgiving dinner stuff the other day a picked up two poms. I’ve never bought one before. I knew that they are considered to be very healthy, so I was very curious. When I got them home and studied them a bit I noticed that they are not round. They are shaped like a pentagon with rounded intersections.

So I made a stencil of this curve-sided pentagon and stencilled darker around the outside; lighter as I neared the center.

When that has had a chance to cure for a couple of days I’ll apply all of the poly coats and it will be ready not too long after that to be shipped to it’s new home- just in time for Christmas!

This one is 8′ X 11′, but It’s also available as a 3′ X 5′ floorcloth for $525, or as a 6′ X 8′ for $1440. Call or email the studio for details.

   how awesome to be able to do this and choose your own design and all you have to do is know what you want. It’s very nice and doesn’t seem like it takes a ton of time.
