Mock Kenzie Table Topper – 2013

Mock Kenzie Table Topper – 40 x 40

After accumulating materials for several years, I was finally able in 2013 to finish this card table cover that mimics some signature motifs of a locally produced majolica: black and white checks, orange and yellow stripes, a floral on a dark background, plaid, tassels in the corners, green and purple trim, pale green marble, local architecture painted in an oval . . . everything but their thistles.

Since the pottery company’s lake house views are copyrighted, I used some computer magic to transfer a painting of our own cottage to cloth. It tops a removable hot pad. The pink Kaffe Fassett fabric gives the whole design a fun kick.

Here is the original painting, done by a cousin in a row boat, probably in the 1930s. He omitted many trees to show the cottage.
