look what i did!

Pillows are one of my favorite things to design — they’re like mini works of art with tons of tiny little details. Oh, and the best part? They are reversible! It’s basically twice the canvas to cover with whatever I want. These are the Embroidered Bhangra Pillows I designed for Anthropologie, basically my most favorite pillows I’ve designed to date! The embroidery technique is called crewelwork and can become very traditional looking, but with these I wanted to mix it up with a jute base fabric and quirky, bright colors. Oh, one more thing, those tassels make me really, really happy.
