Decorative Table Runner

This is an elegant linen table runner with a jute ribbon. 

This image shows the table runner with a nature inspired centerpiece.


This image shows the end of the table runner.
This image shows a detail of the jute ribbon, which meets at an angle, on the corner of the table runner.

This is another view of the corner of the table runner.

This is an edge of the table runner.  This image, as well as several others, clearly show the reveal of the linen past the just ribbon.  It is only a fraction of an inch but it defines the style of the runner.





Hand Embroidered Pillow

This pillow showcases an original, hand-embroidered, abstract design.  I based the design  off of mathematical fractals.  The cotton fabric for the shell of the pillow is dark brown, almost black.  I hand embroidered the design on the front.  This took several hours a day for a week.
This is an image of the fractal design on the front of the pillow.  Each shape is a different color white, gold and bronze.

Here the pillow can be seen in a living room setting.  I made the pillow on the left as well.
This is a close-up view of the stitching  on the design.

This is another close-up view of the stitching  on the design.
This is the reverse side of the pillow, which is plain.


This is a detail of the zipper, which allows the exterior  shell to be removed and cleaned.

Coming Soon... A larger pillow with a similar design, and a surprise.
