Run Away to the Circus, Green
Overview
Dance Away in the Garden captures the quiet magic of childhood play where gardens become kingdoms, and fairies are always just out of sight. Between hand-drawn vines, you’ll find mischievous riders, oversized blooms, and the flutter of wings, all carved using traditional woodblock techniques.
This design is rooted in the kind of play that happens when no one’s watching. The stories children make for themselves, the creatures they imagine, and the corners of the garden that feel secret even. A wallpaper that celebrates both the wild and the gentle sides of the outdoors.

Additional Info
All Annika Reed designs begin with a sketchbook and pen. She refines, then hand draws the images onto a piece of Asian wood, where she carves them according to the age-old practices she learned while doing a residency at the University of Shanghai in China, in 2006.
While in China she worked alongside masters in woodblock printing and developed her unique style. Traditional woodcuts are printed from separate blocks, one created for each color. she works differently, carving away each color, one at a time, and uses the same block to print all the layers of her designs. It takes at least a month to complete a full series of carvings and color layers.
