Vintage fabric find: Salvador Dali fabric

This time I’ve really hit the jackpot! This decorator-weight vintage barkcloth has an amazing dancing leaves design that’s been attributed to Salvador Dali. There’s so much colour and movement in the design, and the fabric is in very good condition considering its age. You may not be able to see it clearly in the photographs, but the little squiggles over the entire fabric are gold paint – which you see quite often on mid-century fabric. I think I have enough for five pairs of 20-inch cushions (that’s 51cm for those who prefer metric) so they will be very limited indeedy! If you love the fabric please leave a comment here or email me so you can get advance notice when the cushions are available at Absolutely Fabulous. I’ll post a photo of the cushions when they’re made. And for those of you in Brisbane, don’t forget the Surrealism: The Poetry of Dreams exhibition opens at the Queensland Art Gallery this week.
