Countryside Birds
R329.00
Countryside Bird is a simple, classical, pastoral tribute to the glorious English hedgerow. It follows in a tradition of bucolic countryside motifs such as toile, William Morris fabrics, and Francois Boucher’s tapestries. Use for a classical, farmhouse or romantic effect. Different elements of the design can be repeated around a room for a cohesive look.

R329.00Floribunda is the most colourful of the Annie Sloan with Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Decoupage Papers. These exuberant, joyful, ostentatious blooms have been created by collaging the work of numerous painters; in particular the illustrations of Caroline Maria Applebee (born in London in 1799) and Graham Stuart Thomas (1909 – 2003). Annie transposed various stems to create this concupiscent bouquet, which flourishes against a backdrop of Napoleonic Blue (available as both Chalk Paint™ and Annie Sloan Wall Paint).
Caroline Maria Applebee appears to have been the daughter of a wealthy middle-class family who owned conservatories and greenhouses (thereby providing access to the plants and flowers Caroline painted). Graham Stuart Thomas was a partner at Sunningdale Nurseries in the mid 1940s and Gardens Advisor to the National Trust from 1955. In the 1960s he was awarded the RHS’s Veitch Memorial Medal and the Victoria Medal of Honour. Made an OBE in 1975, Graham Stuart Thomas is recognised as a horticulturist, rosarian, writer and artist.

R329.00Winged Wildlife shows exquisitely intricate hand painted examples of butterflies, moths and damselflies. Use this Annie Sloan with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Decoupage Paper as a whole sheet or as individual cut outs. These illustrations have been chosen from a late 18th century publication showcasing “the most beautiful and curious” flora and fauna from European and Chinese gardens. The subjects here include some of nature’s most eye-catchingly exquisite fauna against a background of Graphite.
The full title of the publication these drawings were featured is, “Collection precieuse et enluminée des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses, qui se cultivent tant dans les jardins de la Chine, que dans ceux de l’Europe”. (Precious and illuminated collection of the most beautiful and curious flowers, which are cultivated as much in gardens of China as those of Europe). Whilst the artists are unknown, the author is Pierre Joseph Buchoz (1731-1807) a French medical doctor who also studied, taught and wrote on botanical and natural history subjects.

R329.00These Mexican Birds are inspired by Annie’s love of traditional Otomi embroidery and design from Mexico. Otomi folk artwork centres on themes of native flora and fauna, hence the birds and tropical flowers used here. Traditionally, the Otomi people use bright clashing multicolours to bring joy and colour to their homes, which we think works wonderfully with this design. Alternatively, use tonal shades for a more subtle statement.
Here we see an example of the stencil used with Old White and Provence.
