NATURAL CURIOSITIES

These pieces are inspired by the beloved strawberry thief wallpaper designed by William Morris in 1883.

He based the pattern and name on the thrushes which frequently stole the strawberries in the kitchen garden of his countryside home, Kelmscott Manor, in Oxfordshire.

The collection is made from numerous individually laser cut pieces of wood and acrylic. I have hand painted the details to bring this charming little scene to life.

DECADENT ROCOCO

This collection is inspired by one of the most prominent flowers in the strawberry thief design, I absolutely love the colour way and shapes in this flower.

As well as the nature close to home Morris also drew on the Italian textiles of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries that he studied at the South Kensington Museum (later the Victoria and Albert Museum) when designing this pattern. I have therefore designed these pieces with a nod to the rococo era.

I have used dark blue mirrored acrylic to reflect the indigo block printing that Morris favoured. I’ve paired this with some neon yellow mirror, pale pink frosted and cream acrylic.

This collection is styled beautifully, photographed and modelled by the fabulous @morganemilyjane
