Beautiful fabric is obviously a passion of mine. Mostly I love patterned linens. I also love embroidered/crewel fabrics. So when I stumbled across Richard's work over at Historically Inaccurate I was beside myself...two of my favourite things joined together in one fabric...embroidery and patterned linen.
Richard embroiders his designs onto Toile fabrics in brightly coloured cottons. I absolutely adore his work which gives fresh appeal to a fabric with roots dating back to the mid 1700's.
This might just be the perfect choice for a small vintage chair I have at home which desperately needs recovering.

that is very cool. kind of reminds me of those old black and white or sepia photos that artists color in.

Anna, I wish you were here in the states! Beautiful finds.....
I stumbled on your blog today and I have to tell you it makes me feel like I am floating in a pool! Such beautiful things, over and over, each post surprising and wonderful. Thank you for this. It is very refreshing, and I will return!
How much fun! I met Richard this weekend at the American Crafts Council Show in Baltimore. I wrote a little piece about him and some of the other very talented crafts-people that I met!
Absolutely love this!

wow what a find anna, his work is glorious. this might be just the thing for my napolean chair too.
i stumbled upon his work some time ago and literally gasped when i saw it... it's amazingly fantastic! i'm in the process of deciding how to recover a chair, and i might have to try my own hand at this...
Oh My Gosh! How cute!
