These are two projects of a possible three. The charts were prepared by Barbara Hammet in her book 'The Art of William Morris'.
I've been doing a lot of counted work recently. It is my way to regenerate between difficult projects and these two were particularly restful to do.
The original design by Barbara Hammett called for a frieze around the central motif. I have chosen not to do it at this time and have already begun a second motif by Morris, adapted by Hammett.
So here is the finished 4" x 4" design. I completed it this weekend just before the power failure and while we were watching 'The King's Speech'. Our daughter was visiting and it was a restful activity for my hands as we talked and watched the movie. I have mounted it temporarily in a box frame. When the other 2 designs are completed, I'll see what I shall do with the 3; possibly a single frame with a vertical or horizontal arrangement, the three separated by matting boards.
I am now planning another Redouté 'Rose'.. a long vertical, linear bloom...
Stay posted.
