The Morris & Co. studio carefully evolved the original artwork into a complete all-over repeat honouring Morris's intent while finishing the composition. Where Morris had marked out stitches for embroidery the design team retained this delicate linework preserving the charm and honesty of the original drawing. Unique and authentic just like Morris. A full colour embroidered border has been added to the left-hand side nodding to the intended direction of the incomplete sketch which is thought to have been conceived as a border or stripe element. The central embroidered silhouette is fully covered in a freehand stitching style closely following the form of the original drawing. This panel seamlessly blends the storytelling between the initial concept and the final vision. Finished with a technique that feels truly handcrafted.
