]]>The cards are die cut and digitally printed from Alice's original paintings and collages. They're perfect for pretty much every occasion. From fairy tale mushrooms to un-wobbly jelly to stove top coffee pots and even a croissant. These cards will be hard to part with!
Mortlake Papers was established by award-winning illustrator Alice Lickens in October 2022.
Each design starts life as a drawing, collage or painting made by Alice in her South London studio. The artwork is digitised so that every brush stroke, inked line and texture can be seen in the finished product.
Every card is printed on recycled paper and paired with a vegan 100% recycled paper envelope (no animal glues or pigments used here). Their packing is plastic free and compostable; they aim to tread as lightly on the planet as possible.

Some of the products took quite a lot of development. The overlays for the two colour prints (cats and newts) proved to be quite difficult to get spot on! The printing problems this caused meant that these weren't very cost effective to produce. We did, however, release these in tote bags.
During lockdown we had a sample sale of some of our test prints. This was incredibly successful and showed that we were on the right lines with this project, and that people did indeed want to wear Daisy's character designs!

Unfortunately during one of the lockdowns, our shared commercial print studio was closed which meant that the more complicated two colour designs were too troublesome to outsource to screen printers as we were now unable to print in-house. Fortunately at this point we had printed a first run of t-shirts, a lot of samples, and a lot of tote bags, so could use a very talented (fairly) local printer who was one of the previous occupants of our studio. We went with Georgina Hardy at Screen23 in The Forest of Dean who I would highly recommend.

We currently have cats, newts, dogs in berets and crocodile designs in tote bags, printed on several different colours and in a few colorways; t-shirts printed in two crocodiles and dogs in berets in black print on multiple coloured cotton; and in sweatshirts we have the dogs and crocodiles in black print on several colorways.
