The background of the profiles is two pages of the Kelmscott Chaucer. I thought...what better way to show the cooperative and brilliantly artistic relationship between these two men than with pages of one of the masterpieces they created together?

Ned and Topsy Silhouettes
I've been enthusiastically making pop culture silhouettes to sell on Etsy, and to put on the walls of our new home.

I like those. They look gorgeous on your wall.
ReplyDeleteOh, awesome!! The Kelmscott Chaucer is a beautiful touch. Did I mention I LOVE the way your house is decorated, too..?
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, and the Kelmscott Chaucer background is inspired. I do wonder how the silhouettes would look against a coloured background - William and Jane Morris against the Daisy pattern that he designed and she embroidered on their Red House bedroom wall-hangings, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful, I would love that on my wall!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for the compliments!! Victorianlibrarian, I almost used the Daisy pattern, actually...great minds think alike ;) I thought the Chaucer was a nice choice for Ned and Topsy because they worked on it together, but I bet Daisy would be lovely for Jane.
