Being a great believer in rescuing the sturdy old and breathing new life into it, this dining chair has had a face lift. The seat and the wood was in good condition however the seat pad was stained and the frame slighlty discoloured. A spray of paint to refresh made the wood look like new however the pad was a nice little project for me. Using a peacock feather as a base and my own hand drawn butterfly & dragon fly sketches, I transfered the images onto silk screens which i then used to print onto a plain square of beautiful tranquil duck egg blue silk. Paitiently waiting for each image to dry before layering up the images before finally applique some more butterflies onto the print. I used lace which draws comparison to the fragility of a butterfly wing and the colours pulled together key items from the room.
The olnly problem now...we dont like to spoil the view by sitting on it
