Tomatoes Postage Stamp Canvas Print

Somewhere between a hand-cut lino printmaker and a vintage seed-packet illustrator, this tomato stamp refuses to behave. The three red tomatoes push straight through the calm blue border and pull attention across the room. Put it up and a plain kitchen wall stops being spare wall and starts being a corner people look at. It works above a counter, beside a shelf of jars, in a breakfast nook or on a small run of wall between cupboards. Pair it with painted cabinets, pale wood, striped cloths and glazed stoneware. Don’t hang it next to heavy oil-painted landscapes or busy patterned wallpaper; the lettering and the red need clear space to land. As a canvas the soft edges suit a relaxed, lived-in kitchen.
