This evening, I was wandering around the internet looking for some fabrics and came across a piece of Scalamandre's Ming Circus fabric on E-bay. It's got all of the elements I was looking for: Chinamen, pandas, elegant herons sitting on trees and a great colourway - a cinnabar red.
I am staked out at the laptop waiting for the bidding to end. Wish me luck!
PS - I lost in the last six seconds to "miniaturecatman". Oh, the horror!
Very pretty! Great idea, keep us posted...
ReplyDeletelove the RED!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and great fabric. So sorry you lost the auction. Have you done a search on google for discount Scalamandre (there are a few sites that carry pieces and bolts of Scalamandre, but can't recall the sites right now).
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea, Fairfax. You said that your friend dreamed her daughter's name was Ming. Does she know the Chinese proverb about the red thread? Google and send it to her. Her little Ming is on her way!
