Chief exponent of the Arts and Crafts movement in Victorian England, renowned artist and craftsman William Morris (1834-96) created a host of stunning patterns for wallpaper, fabrics, tapestries, floor coverings, and other decorative projects. Many of these designs took nature as their theme. Now Carolyn Relei has skillfully rendered 100 of Morris's best designs for this superb collection of stained glass motifs.
Among the 100 black-and-white designs depicted here are lush florals and vines, exotic birds amid magnificent displays of garden flowers, a charming bouquet of daffodils, and many more. Artfully displayed in circular, oval, and rectangular frames, these splendid classics -- all easily adaptable as templates -- will appeal to artists and artisans who admire the work of one of the Victorian era's most influential craftsmen.
