Interwoven Orange Mini I


This unique little square accent pillow measures just 9.5" (24cm) and started life as a piece of unprimed artist's cotton canvas. I hand printed various shapes onto the canvas using acrylic paint. I then ripped the canvas into strips and wove them back together adding in random pieces of velvet ribbon and hand dyed silk organza. This weaving was then randomly machine stitched onto a calico backing to form this lush and luxurious cushion cover.




The back is made from sturdy unprimed artist's cotton canvas and the pillow is stuffed with polyester toy fill.

My Creative Space

This week it's all about Roses....




I've been playing around with some photos I took of a vase of roses that was sitting on a side table in my living room.  The colours and shapes were intriguing so I printed some of the images onto printable canvas and have been making them into little accent pillows adding vintage trim, ribbons and torn hand-dyed silk organza frills for added texture.

These pillows and other fabulous fibre fantasies are available in my etsy store with more to come.

This week it's all about Silk, Baubles & Beads...


Playing around with printing digital photos onto fabric, I took a couple of photos that I had taken of some bead & wire brooches I'd made I printed them onto organza and then zig zag stitched the prints onto some gorgeous blue silk and made up 2 cute little accent pillows - they only meausre 11" x 8" and 9" x 8". 


This is definitely something that I'll be exploring further - heaps of fun.
