| This is the first floorcloth I was commissioned to make. It measures 6’x9’. The floral pattern is taken from a tile design in a Catholic church in Grand Couteau, LA.

This floorcloth was inspired by a photograph my friend, Maria, took during her travels in Italy. I was struck by its peaceful feel and the beautiful deep blues and greens. I thought it would make an interesting floorcloth, because the floor is the last place one would expect to see something like this. It is currently in a private residence in Texas, where is lies on the white marble floor of the home’s entryway. Not for sale. |
