SALE Shipping Forecast & Cuppa Original Screen Print Typography Tea Screenprint
Description
Lovely limited edition screenprint inspired by the shipping forecast. As featured in Handmade Living magazine.
A blue & white striped mug of hot tea with a wisp of steam above. A list of the shipping forecast areas follows the curves of the steam. Three-colour screenprint ('cornishware' blue, 'milky tea' beige & 'dark clouds' grey) on satisfyingly thick 220gsm Seawhite cartridge paper. These are printed by hand, there are small variations in each print.
The framed photos are of the 2nd edition. There are two prints left in this edition (w grey b/ground) one has a small speck of white in the centre and one has the tea colour positioned slightly high in the cup. I have reduced the price to reflect these slight flaws.
Back by popular demand! Reprinted in a 3rd Edition of 60 prints. Each print in the edition is signed, titled and numbered. The 3rd edition is noted by a Roman numeral beside the edition number.
Meticulously hand traced from my own digital design & then screen printed by hand in my tiny home studio. See more photos of the process here http://flic.kr/s/aHsjuWxgut

Inspiration
"And now the Shipping Forecast, issued by the Met Office on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency...". This is my tribute to a quintessentially British listening experience!
I'm a landlubber but often find myself sitting with a nice cup of tea listening to the shipping forecast on Radio 4. There's a certain poetry in the names of those sea areas, everyone has their favourites, mine are German Bight & Dogger. I like to imagine salty old sea dogs huddled around crackly radios eager for news of incoming gales.
