Lion Toile Wallpaper

Lion Toile is a combination of botanical and animal illustrations with accents of marbling. Originally pen drawings, the lion and the botanical illustrations are highly-detailed drawings that translate well to the medium of digital printing. Each colour is created using the ancient Asian technique of marbling.

In modern day England there are only a handful of professional marblers left. Paper Marbling is a technique that has been developed by many different cultures across the globe for many years. Dating back to 12th Century Japan, the technique was brought through the middle east and into Europe in the 17th century and is still used today in modern applications.
