nip & lassie by little greene

description

The dogs in this design are Beatrix Potter’s doodled portraits of her beloved working collies, Nip and Lassie. The original sketches are tiny but effortlessly translate into a light-hearted wallpaper design, in which the accompanying sheep have been flocked to bring extra surface texture. Beatrix was known for her dedication to farming, and in particular her award-winning stock of Herdwick sheep which also feature in the design. The breed is synonymous with the Lake District and Potter’s beloved rural cottage, Hill Top, where she famously settled and fervently pursued her creative and business endeavours.
