St Louis Toy Museum
This floorcloth was commissioned by the Eugene Field House & St. Louis Toy Museum located in Missouri. The pattern was sketched by noted historian, William Seale, as part of renovation recommendations for the museum. From the sketch we created stencils and then made several samples to perfect the combination of colors.
