1. Florence comes from Mt Perry in QLD and went to music lessons in Bundaberg. Mt Perry is about an hour or so north of Bundaberg.
3. Florence's business premises was in 12-24 Roylston St Paddington.
One of my old customer's business premises was 13 Roylston St Paddington.
This is my loungeroom featuring the Ottoman and some cushions, all in Florence Broadhurst fabrics. The 'Canvas Art' from a previous blog is on the wall.
Ottoman in Florence Broadhurst fabrics 'Bamboo' and 'Circles and Squares' both in Lime. Cushions are in 'Fingers', in a red colour way specially printed for a client, the lime green 'Bamboo' left over from the Ottoman and a brown 'Japanese Floral'. Everything is done from offcuts purchased at the Signature Prints 'Pop Up' store sales.

One of my many visits to Signature Prints in Sydney. This was an excursion for my Certificate IV class to Signature Prints.
Rows and rows of orginial and refurbished screens. The guy who does the renovations of the screens is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. To watch him work is an experience.
Another hand printing table and more rows of screens. Signature Prints release new designs every now and then.
My Florence Broadhurst project from 2007. There is another 2 pages to this. These were the technical specs of the techniques, some history and background of Florence and current uses of her designs - fabrics, handbags, Designer Rugs, soft furnishings etc.
Me too, I love her prints. I have read 3 books about her and own the documentary on her nutty life.
ReplyDeleteShe is amazing and such a crazy eccentric. Love your DIY jobs. Nice work.

Hi Terese,
ReplyDeleteNice to find another 'fanatic'! Yes, I do have quite the obsession with her designs. I'm so proud she is an Australian and we have such a breadth of work to draw from. Love the lime Circles & Squares, I haven't seen it in the Lime colourway before.
