Onwards and...

Age of Enlightenment Pillow
The new pillow design was at the Junction Flea on the weekend and was met with a lot of favour. I'm so glad I kept tweeking it. I've decided to call it "The Age of Enlightenment Pillow"  as that is the time period where the influence came from (as I had mentioned in an earlier post). Besides "Balloon Ship" sounds so lame.


I've sourced a new linen/cotton tea towel fabric that I'm very pleased about. Not only is it easier to print (I had so many mis-prints with the last one), but it is constant. It's also a great colour and in keeping with my other work.

    Hi Barbara,
    Have you made the "nest" into a pillow or bag? I love it!!! Lynn

    the nest, so far, is only on a wallet.
    I need to enlarge it for other things like pillows or bags.

    thanks for the kind words

    It was fun to see your original drawing turn into the beautiful finished pillow. :)
