Past Designs

Morris & Essex is currently on hiatus. I'm not taking any orders at this time, but these are some examples of my past work. Everything is hand-silkscreened with water-based inks on eco-friendly textiles, with my own original pattern designs. Please stay tuned for new projects and products coming up in 2023!

 
These super-comfy three-season scarves were hand-printed at my farmhouse studio in Maine. Beautiful, original patterns printed on sustainable bamboo-cotton jersey fabric, using non-toxic water based textile inks. The result is an unbelievably soft, comfortable fabric with a beautiful drape.

Teal floral scarf, hand-printed in Maine by Morris & Essex
"Painted Vine" Scarf: This is a super-soft and comfy teal blue scarf, made from eco-friendly bamboo-cotton blend fabric, hand-silkscreened with my original hand-painted vine pattern design in metallic gold ink.

Hand-printed linen tea towel with mushroom pattern design
Hand-Printed Mushrooms linen Tea Towel: Woodland mushroom illustration, hand-printed on a rustic oatmeal-colored, 100% linen tea towel.  Perfect to use as a kitchen towel or hand cloth. My original illustration was inspired by all the mushroom photos I've snapped on morning walks in the forest near my house.

Letterpress greeting card with green and blue floral design
"Green Gardens" letterpress greeting card:  These verdant green and blue floral cards, sprouting with blooming vines, are blank on the inside. It's my own original design, hand-carved from in linoleum and block-printed in dusty green and blue ink on an antique press in Maine. Each card measures 4.25" x 5.5" folded, and is printed on a heavy, cream-colored French paper stock. Each card is stamped with the "Morris & Essex" logo on the back, and comes with a kraft brown envelope.

Hand-Printed "Fiesta Jardin" linen Tea Towel: This 100% linen tea towel is hand-printed with my festive, fiery-orange floral pattern. This pattern is based on a watercolor doodle I made on the back porch with my girls. The rich orange ink really looks gorgeous against the rustic oatmeal-colored linen fabric.

"Glasgow Roses" Hand-Printed Scarf: This is a super-soft and comfy maroon scarf, made from eco-friendly bamboo-cotton blend fabric, hand-silkscreened with my original rose pattern design in soft metallic gold ink. This mid-weight scarf is perfect for thoughtful gift-giving; one size fits all!

Hand-Printed triple-layer cotton face masks - washable, reusable, with filter pocket. These handmade face masks were carefully stitched from two layers of highest-quality Kona quilting cotton, with a breathable synthetic chiffon fabric sandwiched in the middle for extra filtration. I was hoping that these beautiful handmade cotton masks would make it just a bit more enjoyable for you or your loved ones to stay safe and protected and keep your community safe too! A message from a happy customer: "I ordered one of your face masks a few weeks ago and just wore it today. I ordered it because I loved the print, but I was so happy to find that it was so comfortable. I loved the stretchy ties and nose wire... I went back to your site to order a second color."

"Purple Deco" Scarf: This is a super-soft and comfy purple scarf, made from eco-friendly bamboo-cotton blend fabric, hand-silkscreened with my original art-deco floral pattern design in metallic gold ink.
