A cushion inspired by natures light and shadows in gardens and landscapes. Without holding this cushion for yourself you would never have guessed the aromatic smell of lavender essence that has been partially placed inside the pillow.
Ikat and double cloth are two techniques which i explored at university and this cushion epitomises the results you can achieve.
To start with I did not like this sample but when i started to bleach out the intensely dark colours a light shone from the fabric I was creating which inspired me to progress with the idea of light and dark; thin and thick; Opposites attracting.
This fabric is so soft to touch as I used cotton yarns and they cover the wool thick weft yarns in a plain woven effect that was actually set as double cloth but when weaving one on one it creates an inspiring effect of speckled light shining through the darkness.
