36 pages soft coverAdditional Description:
Michele HillAppliqué projects based on May Morris designs.In 1885 at the age of 23, May Morris became head of the embroidery department for her nowsuccessful father's Morris & Co. This same year May demonstrated her talent in the design areaand contributed in a big way to the company's artistic direction. Her very first design, Honeysuckle,became and still is one of the company's most popular wallpapers. In 2014 I had the unique opportunity of viewing over 200 of May's original pencil drawings at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. It was these drawings that inspired me to self publish a small book reflective of her talent.The book is not as overwhelming as my first two William Morris Appliqué books - instead theyare all small projects achievable for all skill levels.
