Vintage barkcloth pillows and Jenny Krauss pillows

Handmade pillows. Vintage barkcloth. Nap time.

I've recently found two artists who are going to supply the gallery with some beautiful handmade pillows. One artist, Jenny Krauss uses bold striped fabric and then embroiders big bold flowers on it, then finishes it off with funky fringe.



The other artist makes her pillows out of vintage barkcloth...that great fabric from the old days. Very beachy, 40's and 50's. Tropical with vibrant colors. If you don't know about barkcloth, Google it. It's got history, and that's why these pillows are really one of a kind.





By the way....I've also found an artist who will be making slouch bags, or hobo bags (think the Olsons) out of vintage barkcloth. More on that once I've confirmed our agreement.
Later.
