Wadding cut out to size ready to stuff the cushions

Screen print with repeat bottle print using pastel pigments and perfume bottle label in gold foil

After I had finished stuffing the cushions and arranged them I thought that the cushion looked far too big but we will have to see when i have assembled it together

Testing different arrangements

Pastel wool to wrap around the thread cushions

Rocking Horse Cushions

http://www.made.com/collection/treasured-collection/rocking-horse-square-scatter-cushion-45-x-45cm-rich-grey

These rocking horse cushions, designed by Tanya Ventress, have a vintage feel to them. She takes traditional subjects and chooses a theme and then creates products in a contemporary way. I also think the screen prints are quite childlike and have a nostalgic theme. Lots of bold block colours make the cushions eye catching. 

Tanya studied Textiles and Surface design at CCAD, you can check out her blog here! :)

Wedding tote bags

http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/alphabetbags

Looking through the wedding section on Notonthehighstreet, i found these tote bags. The have been screen printed using pastel colours. I think this is a great idea for a unique gift for your bridesmaids, flower girl, maid of honour etc! 

'The ideal tote for your lovely helpful maids. Fill with gifts and let them carry out their duties in style. They are perfect for hen parties and also make a lovely keepsake to treasure beyond the big day.'
