The Crazy Chair

07/24/2026

The spiritual meaning of a dragonfly centers on transformation, adaptability, and self-realization. Across many beliefs, they are seen as light-filled messengers representing emotional maturity and the shift beyond illusion. Thank you for an incredible skull tapestry. You will always remain my muse.



All images, textiles and embroidery designs on this chair are created, manufactured and sold by other artists or companies. My superpower is sewing it all together.

Adding embroidery to the upholstery work is an absolutely invaluable opportunity. With images superimposed on an already patterned fabric you can add so much more depth and meaning. I frequently use it and I am always open to customers’ requests.

Butterfly garden.
This is my absolutely favorite topic. I love gardening and living in Florida offers a very close experience with all sorts of colorful winged creatures. Back to the chair! It features a patchwork of retired fabric swatches and an appliqué on the front back. I dyed the linen fabric for it. Outside back had 3D ruffle flowers and other sewed on details. All hand made from scratch. This is one of my most labor intensive makeovers.

My tear down area of the shop is not air conditioned and I am in Florida. So I am currently hiding inside my sewing room and working on the rosettes.

Antique furniture…
The curves and unnecessary details, spindly legs, chipping patina…. I can’t get enough of this fleeting beauty. I feel incredibly privileged to be able to touch the past and bring it back to life.

Come as you are.
Ripped jeans, crazy hair, faded tee, I don’t care. Just join me for a cup of tea. And by that I mean I am open f that French vintage that is chilling in the fridge.

If you need an inspirational piece of furniture in your life (I had no idea they existed until 4 days ago), here is where you can find it

Couture
As the dictionary has it “designing, making, and selling of high-fashion, custom-made clothing. It is the French word for "dressmaking" or "sewing" and is often used as a shortened term for haute couture—representing exclusive, handcrafted garments made from premium fabrics for individual clients.

And we can dress up the chairs in the latest fashion as well.

Available at my Etsy.

Front panel.
The most important yard of fabric on the chair. Everything else needs to fall in place with it.

A very important step in designing an art chair. This is when you can see how well your fabrics will play together and which one takes the lead.
