I am now looking at some artists who I can look to when creating my final product in my botanics unit. I chose to look at first in my work book William Morris who was a textile designer, arts and crafts artist and many other things. I Will be looking at mostly his botanical styled wallpaper. The first one I had already known before looking at this unit was Strawberry Thief wallpaper pattern, here is an example of this pattern. I like the detail that has been added. The design has been very successful and has been used on mugs, cushions and even shoes.
William Morris also looked at many other designs known for their very ornate style usually botanical in theme. Looking at the detail if these are in fact handmade they would have been very expensive and time consuming to create. He used much of his styles for other things, not just wallpaper and I can see why were popular.
