IOD Catharina Transfer
IOD Catharina Transfer
Introducing the Catharina Transfer, a tribute to the renowned botanical artist Catharina Klein. Her stunning watercolor and gouache paintings captured the hearts of many in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Sally, the creator of this product, was immediately drawn to Catharina's detailed and vibrant vintage artworks.
Catharina was a pioneer in the commercial art world, breaking barriers as one of the first female artists. However, her focus on creating postcards for commercial use overshadowed her recognition as a 'fine' artist. Sadly, many of her original paintings were lost during the war. But her work on postcards has made her art iconic and continues to inspire creators like us.
The Catharina Transfer features sumptuous blooms with intricate details and soft, painterly touches that reflect her signature style. From sprawling roses to charming bouquets and handpainted birds, this transfer is full of whimsy and natural beauty.
Use this transfer to add floral clustered embellishments to furniture, create vintage wall art, or add a touch of charm to small decor like trays and planters. The possibilities are endless with this versatile product.
Project Suggestions:
- Small Decor: Use on a vintage suitcase, repurposed books, a spring centerpiece, or playful spring wall art.
- Wall Art: Perfect for distressed stationery, hung by clips and twine on a gallery wall.
- Craft: Create postcards, wedding invitations, and special occasion thank you cards.
