Ornamental Elements

Historically Inaccurate Decorative Arts takes the traditional French toile textile design and gives it a ‘bit of a tweak’. “RICHARD SAJA is always on the lookout for toile, but not to buy a few yards for a dressing room armchair. He looks at the fabric as the basis for his art. Mr. Saja, a 43-year-old textile designer, has been interfering with toile for years, embroidering fur on humans, wings on monkeys and bugs on flowers (like ladybugs, flies and cockroaches, though the last “is never a big seller”).”

I’ve been know to add a little fabric pizzazz to my jeans…HMMMMM….the next pair will DEFINITELY be ‘tweaked toile’.
