MORRIS MUSE FROM BARBARA BRACKMAN Morris Muse celebrates the unsung women of Arts and Crafts design.William Morris and his fellows valued female associates as models, lovers, and muses—sources of inspiration for male artistic creation. Morris’s wife, JaneBurden Morris, a classic “stunner,” as the men called the beauties, earned no fame for her talents, yet she and her daughter, May, were artistsin their own right, designing, stitching, and overseeing masterpieces ofMorris needlework. Despite late-century conventions that kept thembehind the screens and drapes they stitched, women in Arts and Craftscircles were true design partners. Prints in the Morris Muse collectioncontinue innovations in natural patterns with rich reds and rich colorcomplements that echo interior fashion and the women’s personal style. 28/29 Prints in the line Please note: our bundles do not have ribbon and are folded flat for most economical shipping!
