Kitchen, Apron: Motif Gourmet, Good DayDescription
A four-color silkscreen print on off-white linen depicting the rising sun and roosters greeting the new day. On the apron pockets playful text enlivens the composition: forecasts of “Fair & Warmer”, and “Sunny & Mild”, along with the expression, “Have a Good Day”. Wert’s apple hearts appear in the center panel, and hearts are seen on the ends of the weathervane directional arrows. Edges and seams are finished with red-orange bias tape to match print.
This apron a part of a coordinated set of kitchen accessories from Wert’s Motif Gourmet colleciton that included wall hangings, oven mitts, coffee can covers, toaster covers and bottle covers; see images.Made/Created
