From Beth Russell Designer's Forum
CANVAS: 48" x 72"
DESIGN: 38" x 66"


The Acanthus plant is found in the decoration of many ancient cultures
William Morris used it extensively. The original silk wall-hanging
which inspired these kits (now at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London)
was designed by Morris in about 1880. 

Beth Russell has interpreted the hanging in a needlepoint rug (shown here), 
cushion and bellpull.

To achieve the closest match to the blue of the original,
she has blended two shades
