I am a big fan of Dora Carrington as well as the Omega Workshops. One day I was flipping through a book of Carrington's art and came across a small woodcut illustration she had done at the Omega Workshops. The woodcut was done for David Garnett, whom she later painted.
The woodcut was for David Garnett's honey.

I later found another version of the woodcut, this one printed in two colors.

We make honey here at Doe Run Farm... actually the bees make the honey and I just watch. I wanted a nice label for our honey and when I saw Carrington's label I knew I wanted it for our honey. So we appropriated the Garnett label as our own.

It is our homage to Carrington and to our bees.

That is a beautiful label. I love it and is so fitting for your delicious honey. I just purchased some honey today with honeycomb- I promptly toasted some bread and enjoyed it.

Lucinda do you sell your honey?? I am a honey freak. I even brought some back from England in August. (Is that allowed?)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful labels!

I love honey but I'm allergic, sometimes life is a little tragic.
