This spring Linda http://miraclechicken.blogspot.com/ kindly allowed me some space on her table at the Tom
Bishop Show in Chicago. I wanted to try to sell some of the William Morris silk
chairs I made. When I got to Linda's table she asked..."Notice anything?" I was
shocked! The chairs sold within 45 minutes of the doors opening on preview
night. WHY, Oh WHY, didn't I bring more!
No photo can convey how beautiful that silk fabric is. The way it takes dyes is magic. So... I have decided to make a few more. Each pattern presents a real design placement challenge. I try to and make a mirror image on each side. On both sides of the wings, both arms and the sides. That can make you say some very bad words while you are working.

This one has hand carved legs made by Linda Master. She is a wizard! How
she carves two perfectly alike is a mystery to me.
Here are a few 1: 1 scale William Morris upholstered chairs I found on Google. The scale seems to be close to what my miniature ones are.
Pepper https://mitchymoominiatures.blogspot.com/ very kindly sent me a gift of some beautiful silk she got at the York show in
the UK. I was thrilled to bits! I have a very hard time finding fabrics. These
are hand loomed. Just gorgeous!
AND... She sent me some Susan Bembridge silk in my favorite colors. I LOVE the patterns! Thank you so much Pepper. ;-)
I am still collecting Terry Curran crocks. Here are a few new ones I found
on eBay.
