A Rose is a Rose VI

This cute little pillow measures 11" x 8" / 28cm x 20cm and is the sixth in my Rose is a Rose series based on photographs I took of a vase of gorgeous pink roses this past Spring.





Wanting to add a bit more texture, I frill made from a torn strip of hand-dyed orange silk organza to bring out the orange highlights of the photo.



These little rose pillows are the perfect accessory for a ladies' boudoir or girl's bedroom.



The pillow has a pink cotton back and is stuffed with polyester toy fill.

Green Peacock

From the same manipulated images of feathers on grass used in Blue Water and Kiss Kiss comes this fun little accent pillow.



I love the effects colour combinations that were created - they remind me of Peacock feathers.






I always love to add a bit more fun to my pillows and this time I've added a couple of frills made from torn strips of silk - one in hot pink, the other in olive green - both yum and very tactile.






The pillow has a cute back of white polka dots on green and is stuffed with polyester toy fill.

Blue Water

This cute and colourful little pillow is another in my series of digitally manipulated images that I've printed onto canvas.

  This image came from a photo I took of white feathers on a very green lawn. Unfortunately, some poor birdy had met its end on my neighbours front lawn and the feathers on the grass looked really interesting so I took a load of photos and then manipulated them in Photoshop - macabre of me I know.

The effects that I created in this image remind me of water currents with flashes of pinks and purples - hidden coral perhaps?

A frill of torn multi-colour silk adds texture and depth.


The pillow has a cute back of white polka dots on pink and is stuffed with polyester toy fill.

The perfect accessory for a ladies' boudoir or girl's bedroom, the pillow has a green floral cotton back and is stuffed with polyester toy fill.

A Rose is a Rose IV

This cute little pillow is the fourth in my Rose is a Rose series based on photographs I took of a vase of roses.



Adding a frill made from a torn strip of yellow and white striped cotton I think makes the pillow a bit more fun.
