Leaf Print Cushion

This cushion cover gets it’s rich Autumn depth from layers of ‘free-printing’ through a silkscreen including use of a luscious gold pigment. Onto these base layers I laid pressed leaves foraged from Winterbourne Gardens and then mono-printed the top layer. Into one corner I have picked out the leaf shapes using couching, running stitch and chain stitch in a variety of luxe metallics and cotton threads.

£65 plus postage

60cm x 60cm

Feather cushion infill included

Gentle hand-wash only. Not meant for heavy use-age, wear and tear.

Printed onto heavy weight, high weave polyester.

    Pat, thanks so much! I do like to round things up at the years end because the actual 'pile' of things achieved and done is sometimes much greater than the feeling of it! Wishing you a bright 2021 and many thanks for your consistent reading and commenting here - it is SO appreciated xox
