Modern Print Monday: Art Deco Berlin

Berlin from my new Modernism collection for Moda.



In this Modernism group I wanted an Art-Deco-style piece
with the concentric geometric lines characteristic of that
art movement.

Painted screen with metal leaf
by Donald Deskey
1928

Terra Cotta building decoration

Bakelite plastic belt buckle

I had this swatch, which I'd
removed from an old Dresden Plate block.
Quite Art Deco.

Here it is in Cafe Brown.
I named it Berlin because it seemed so Bauhaus in the
emphasis on squares and circles.

Look for it in December.

  2. I like the design, and it occurs to me it wouldn't be all that out of place in a Civil War block.
