Two parts old, one glimpse of new.
Ok, maybe it’s not completely done. There are finishing touches to be made.
Last year I found some damaged placemats at the flea market. Since they were renowned designer Josef Frank I had the feeling they would come in handy anyway someday. That day was yesterday. The cottage came with an equally damaged AWAB stool. The combination looks like a match made in heaven, don’t you think? I traced the contours on a baking sheet to make a template that I taped on to the placemat. Then I cut along the template, eliminating the need to draw on the place mat. The tape peels off with out leaving a trace. The baking sheet is translucent enough to allow you to make out the pattern underneath so that you may cut out the parts you like most.
Even placemats get dirt under their nails.
The signature. This pattern seems to have been discontinued, so the signature will be good for future reference.
