Pair of pillows from a vintage panel.

Side view green linen backs.

Golden Gate

Chinatown

Blue and green and gray–I’ve always liked these colors. This pair (ea 19″ x 19″) made from a large linen panel I found hanging on a wall somewhere. These sold at the Svenska Mobler trunk show. Don’t forget to FOLLOW the blog over on the right– for the superb pillow give away –sooner is always better than later, I say!

Vintage linen crewel work pattern.

New needlework in vintage threads.

Slight embellishments to the original pattern.

The black and white threads were added to try and tamper the over all green of this 1960’s pattern. I added the  swirling infestation somewhat inspired by those dutch baroque still life painters– delighted to add a little ooze and murk to the Apollonian.
