Trying Something New!!

As a tortured artist, I am always in a constant struggle to find new ways to express my inner soul. I started this pillow making endeavor when I began planning my own wedding.  I often see something that appeals to me aesthetically and think, "I could make that...and better, too!"  (I can be quite vain at times.). I had seen many ring bearer pillows, and while many were beautiful  none appealed to my sense of whimsy or flamboyant sense of color. Hence the need to create my own special pillow arose.  I am actually still working on it.
However, I must confess.  I am feeling boxed in by my own creations.  I do love creating these pillows for people's weddings, imagining where they end up and how they impact the lives of those with whom they have found a home, but I want to expand.  At the suggestion of my significant other, I have decided to make other specialty pillows. I have considered "Get Well" pillows to give to your loved one who is ill, holiday specific pillows, such as for Valentine's day as well as a couple other ideas I'm tossing around.
The purpose of these new pillows will be a card and a gift in one-a pocket in the pillow will allow for a personalized message on a handmade note card.  Stay tuned for this new development--I think it has quite a bit of promise. And of course, fell free to contact me if you have a specific need.  I would love to work together with you to create an original art pillow just for you!

Woodland Wonder

RosefernThis 7"x7" pillow uses the whimsical elements of the forest in a whole new way as a sheer overlay to produce a soft pink delicacy of a piece.  A soft faux micro suede complements the smooth top. It's simplicity draws attention to the fern embedded in the white overlay, while the edged stitching fosters a finished elegance to complement your style.  Small iridescent beads add a finishing touch to a white satin ribbon to hold your rings securely down the aisle, and a holding band on the reverse is perfect for small hands to hold on tightly. The center of the pillow is punctuated by a hand covered button of the matching pink with white fern overlay.

I enjoyed making this pillow, experimenting with overlay fabrics.  I am pleased with the simplicity of the design, as many of my designs can be wild at times! I hope you find this pillow would make a lovely addition to you special day.

Thanks for looking!
This fantastic pillow is only $25.00...
