Not all of the pillows are finished as this one–but sometimes it just seems right– who doesn’t love to unzip something and be surprised?

“Cow Associated with the earth and with the moon…many lunar goddesses wear the horns of a cow on their head. When linked with the primigenial goddess Neith, the cow is a mother-symbol representing the primal principle of humidity and endowed with certain androgynous or gynandrous, rather–characteristics” (p. 65).

Winter is over; it was a long couple of weeks in LA. Here is a little Springtime pillow for you. It is made from a vintage embroidery in cotton threads. I enjoy this technique because of the clipping and cutting and the rush when I think I’ve gone too far. It is machine surged to linen with the excess clipped off. Areas are surged on top of the embroidery and then cut out to reveal the linen underneath creating a lighter more abstract piece.
BTW I can do custom pillows for you.
