Incredible precision. No wonder it's so expensive.

No one has ever done more beautiful wallpaper, as far as I'm concerned, as did William Morris. Just gorgeous...

This explains why certain products are so expensive. What painstaking detail. Beautiful.

Thank you, these shorts are wonderful but they always leave me wanting. Please consider making them of longer duration with more details of the subject.

I love seeing acanthus in design. It’s such a timeless plant.

the end scene with each layer sped up kinda looks like a digital imagine loading,
like slowly getting clearer, for some reason that kinda hit me, this is when people were their own computers.

William Morris was incredibly creative. In addition to wallpapers, he wrote fantasy novels that influenced J.R. R. Tolkien.
