Today I made a whole bunch of pillows for our new place!
I started out with a sweater & some fabric from my stash.
Plus some vintage zippers in bright colors.
Then I spent all afternoon sewing them up! I really like how the bright zippers stand out (and make grey pillows less boring!)
Here’s a shot of our living room where you can actually see the grey walls and some of our new furniture (all thrifted – but more about that soon!)
I ♥ comic books, web design, video games, road trips, thrift stores and old books.
I make unique Art Journals featuring repurposed and rescued vintage book covers. Each journal is bound by hand and completely one-of-a-kind. Inside every Art Journal you’ll discover an inspiring mixture of colors, textures and patterns that coordinate with the cover: 100 hand-cut pages of vintage and modern paper, authentic vintage book pages and other ephemera.

Itten, Johannes (1888-1967) - 1957 Composition in Orange and Blue-Green (Sotheby’s Zurich, 2010) by RasMarley on Flickr.
He who wants to become a master of colour must see, feel, and experience each individual colour in its many endless combinations with all other colours. Colours must have a mystical capacity for spiritual expression, without being tied to objects.Johannes Itten, The Elements of Colour (via thepeachblossomspring)
Itten
Extract from The Elements of Color by Johannes Itten (1970).
‘Twelve steps of gray from white to black, and the twelve hues of the color circle in matching brilliancies.’
Love the bright zippers as a part of the look of the pillow. Would have never thought to do that! Thanks for posting this. Also, just started following you on bloglovin.
Those colors are so awesome with that granny square afgan! Your new place is looking great. I can’t believe how much you’ve gooten done, the office rocks! Black and white cat works too!
