Jean-Francois has chosen to focus on embroidery for interiors rather than for couture. His main workshop is in Madras, India, where skilled craftsmen work with such fabrics as silk, wool, leather, and velvet. The embroidered fabric can then be used for upholstery, curtains, bed linen, or anywhere else one might want to use the stunning fabric. For a more affordable piece of Lesage's work, Vivre is carrying silk fuchsia pillows with a copper-thread embroidered lizard on them. C'est magnifique!
The crowns are brilliant. I'd love a pillow with them.
ReplyDeleteLovely. Thanks for the introduction!
ReplyDeleteFirst I wll start at the end! I nnnneeeed that pillow. Need it, want it!! It is scrumptious. I adore embroidery.. I think there are lost arts...and I think machines will never be as good as the real thing...I think there should be trade schools for many of these types of things....even book binding.. it is sad...old world leaving us....But, It is a happy day!! So happy day of love!!!and thanks for the links..
ReplyDeletethe little crowns are divalicious.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what afancifultwist says. Love the pillow, too!
