3D Botanical Cushions

Flicking through this months issue of Mollie Makes (Issue 40), these 3D botanical cushions caught my eye in the corner of a page. These cushions are made by Sabine Herrmann, i followed the website link to see more of her creations.

This is the cushion that was featured in the magazine.
Spring Succulent pillow made to order   
"The succulent image is custom printed on cotton-canvas. On the back of the pillow, I've used beautiful, thick linen and a decorative stitch along the seam line to give it a personal touch."

"The leaf image is custom printed on cotton-canvas. On the back of the pillow, I've used beautiful, thick linen and a decorative stitch along the seam line to give it a personal touch. Piping follows the stem of the leaf image on the front of the pillow which gives it a very sculptural feel."

Pine cone pillow made to order 
This pine cone cushion is so realistic from the front angle, amazing!

My neck piece that I have recently made is similar to these cushions as the petals on my lilies are made from photocopies of the actual petals which makes them seem lifelike.

a wooden tree

After finding (and loving) the quirky reindeer wall hangings in Mollie Makes I went to the designers website to check out more of her work. 


"Designer and vintage enthusiast Kirsty Anderson's label a wooden tree creates accessories and little pieces of artwork with a fantastical, yet old-time feel. Reclaimed fabrics from your granny's linen closet and vintage objects are given a new lease of life. Taking inspiration from nature and the forest for her designs, Kirsty's products range from hand-embroidered bird brooches, screen-printed linen tea towels, soft mountains made from woolly jumpers, Miss Foxettes and Floral Stags to adorn your walls."

I love the patterned vintage fabrics Kirsty uses to make her stuffed wall hangings. She has then used the vintage fabric as inspiration to produce hand drawn designs to create printed tea towels and digital prints which look great framed.

I think these cute little brooches would be great for stocking fillers. The foxes and walrus's are made from felt with hand embroidered detail. The anchor is made from strawberry printed fabric.

Mollie Makes - Issue 33



 
This cloud and star mobile would make a great Christmas gift for children and I love these sparkly acorn decorations.

 
Wispy yarn snowflakes. They look really delicate, if you added a piece of string or ribbon and added some sequin or bead embellishments they would make nice Christmas tree decorations

 
Cute crochet decorations and patchwork stockings.

 
Vintage baubles!

Samantha Sta's retro felt tree decorations. These kitsch fabric and felt baubles will give Christmas trees a nostalgic feel.

 
Quirky reindeer wall hangings made with vintage and sourced fabrics using inspiration from wildlife, the past and family. Great idea for Christmas gifts!
