the mattress project continues

Here’s the latest mattress photo – Highbury House op-shop. 1980s (?) thick linen.

This may be the most esoteric project I’ve ever had – but I’m fully addicted now.

Emily from Millicent Crow recently added some gorgeous 1950s examples to the group pool – check them out HERE and Emily’s lovely blog is HERE

Emily used her mattress photographs as backgrounds for a beautiful set of cards containing her drawings. You can see them in her etsy shop HERE.

Do come and join in the fun on flickr if you are a textile nut, too.
