The subtitle says it all: "Fabric Decoupaged Floorcloths - No Sew Fun". I have always planned on doing a floorcloth - painted heavy cotton canvas with layers of varnish on top, but now I'm excited to try a fabric decoupaged version. I'm using Denyse Schmidt's book for inspiration. I keep thinking of the "unswept floor" mosaic in the Vatican Museum. Gold Japanese Maple leaves would be lovely decoupaged onto a floorquilt like this - or letters on a hallway rug beneath the mail slot, Hubba Bubba wrappers in the diningroom, rose petals in the bathroom.
I have wanted to make a floorcloth for a long time, too! I'm excited about seeing what you decide to make!
ReplyDeleteI got my copy yesterday (Amazon has me on their Runcible Auto Ship Plan), and DUH! I was surprised that they were not decoupaged TO the floor. Relieved! Want to make some awesome luggage tags as a starter project.

Here in Phila where fuzzy slipper weather is setting in I'm thinking flokati more than floor quilt. (But wouldn't want dyi flokati.)
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs. L----- can you please pop me an email? I've sadly lost your addy, sigh.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a FERTILE TERRITORY for you . . .
ReplyDeleteI love floorcloths, too.
