Byrdcliffe

Byrdcliffe: An American Arts and Crafts Colony was a show at the Milwaukee art Museum from 2004, a temporary exhibit in the Decorative Arts galleries.  I was asked to do two wall murals, one to be created from the carved design on a trunk designed by Zulma Steele in 1904, and one from her Dragonfly Wallpaper from the period.

Here is the trunk:

And here was my wall:

Misc 029 (Large)

And the Dragonfly wallpaper as wall mural:
