pretty tops

Cotton threads of charcoal and black are woven together to create this cushion cover from Mexico. Margarita Ruiz crafts the pretty cover, which is woven on a traditional pedal loom. The cushion cover features off-white tassels on each corner and a zipper on the back for inserting a cushion.

Working with hand carded and spun wool that has been tinted with natural dyes, Mario Chavez creates this pretty cushion cover. The handwoven cover features a subtle diamond patterned stripe of concrete grey against a body of sea green. One side is fringed to conceal a zipper for the easy insertion of a cushion.
