My New Obsession
William Morris. I came across a quote of his in a design book. For some reason, it stuck with me and I decided to look him up and see what he's all about. Turns out, I love his stuff. He is described as the 'practical romantic', which I find very fitting. It was hard to post only three of his works.

Beautiful pictures! I like the symmetry of each one. It's easy on the eyes. I love the incorporation of nature/birds (esp birds!). Great choices- thanks!
