Rookwood Floorcloths
 
Rookwood
Floorcloths are a
resurgence of the early eighteenth century custom of making canvas
rugs
from sailcloth. Two or three coats of gesso or primer are applied
to both sides of heavy duty canvas, the
canvas is hemmed and then a one of a kind design is hand-painted
onto the front. The final step is to
seal the cloth with three or more coats of varnish. These durable
canvas mats will last for years.
Rookwood
Floorcloths
are
not only practical but decorative as well. With the popularity of hardwood
and tile flooring today, floor cloths are perfect for protecting
such surfaces and add a wonderful accent
to any room. Rookwood
Floorcloths can be made
in any length and width. They can also be made as
wall hangings, table runners and placemats.
Rookwood Floorcloths can be customized to match your decor, color and size requirements with either a breed
specific image included or an image of your own dog(s) incorporated into each floorcloth. Each floorcloth is uniquely
ours and when finished it is signed and dated by the artist. Please contact Bev Ellison at bellison@stny.rr.com for
more information. Thank you for visiting my web page and I look forward to hearing from you.
