Panthera pardus moves through illustrated jungle, rosette-marked coat visible amongst oversized foliage. Porta depicts leopards in habitat generosity—the species' actual range spans savanna to montane forest—here rendered through tropical abundance and playful simplification.
The pattern scatters leopards amongst graphic botanical forms: palm fronds, monstera leaves, tropical vegetation scaled large for visual impact. Illustration style maintains friendly accessibility suitable for children's spaces: leopards appear alert yet unthreatening, spots simplified to decorative pattern, expressions curious rather than predatory. Green dominates the palette through varied foliage tones, leopard coats providing warm contrast in golds and tans. The composition balances fauna with flora, neither overwhelming the other. Scale reads bold—both cats and leaves substantial enough to register as distinct elements rather than merging into texture.
Printed in Cornwall with attention to maintaining illustration clarity across the complex layering of leopards and jungle vegetation.
Porta suits children's rooms, nurseries, playrooms where wildlife themes feel appropriate without photographic intensity. The playful illustration prevents the apex predator subject from reading threatening to young viewers. Works equally in powder rooms or feature walls where botanical-animal combination creates conversation interest. The graphic leaves and jungle setting support biophilic design principles whilst the leopards add character beyond generic tropical patterns. Consider feature walls allowing the busy composition focal space.

Botanical Prints: From Pressed Specimens To Contemporary Wallpaper
Botanical illustration began as scientific documentation, artists translating three-dimensional plants into flat images serving both informational and aesthetic purposes. This exploration traces the journey from pressed herbarium specimens and watercolour expeditions to contemporary wallpaper, examining how printing techniques evolved from copperplate engraving through William Morris' screen printing to digital reproduction whilst maintaining essential character: beauty emerging from accuracy rather than imposed upon it.

Woven Ground: The Cultural Geography of Handmade Rugs
Handwoven rugs carry geography in their fibres. The wool came from specific mountains where specific plants fed specific sheep; the dyes derive from regional botanicals; the patterns preserve cultural memory encoded in visual language. From Persian workshop medallions to Berber mountain abstractions to Scandinavian restraint, each tradition represents centuries of accumulated knowledge, techniques refined through generations. This investigation explores how materials shaped by landscape, methods passed like recipes, and patterns carrying meaning beyond decoration create the ground beneath our feet.
