Fabrics at Claremont

Yesterday, I did Claremont's window with some of my new  favorite fabrics by Rosa Bernal.
Tassels--these with pompons and beautifully muted colors.  

A stack of Claremont's, Matelas de Laine.

Draping can be fun.
Visit them in the La Cienega. Design Quarter.

Luxe Los Angeles-Pillows @ Greystone


A pair of silk pillows that I designed and made were borrowed by Oliver M. Furth's for his beautifully designed room at the Greystone Show House this past December. In this expressive bedroom, lives quite the forward thinking girl; the pair of Victorian Silk Pillows--details below--I pieced together from a beaded and ruffled Victorian dress. You may be able to make them out in situ above on the bed. The images are from Los Angeles Luxe Interiors +Design. Winter 2012. An edited group of my pillows can be seen in person at Hallworth Design here in Los Angeles--here is a link to some of their other pieces on 1stdibs.

PONTIUS Pillow in House Beautiful



The blue and white striped pillow is one that I pieced together out of an indigo African textile and some home spun Laotian fabric. It's on page 96 of the Dec-Jan 2012 issue of House Beautiful. The interior is by Commune purchased from Pat McGann Gallery.

Free Hand Machine Stitchery






These embroidery pieces were taken from a frilly frilly piece of fabric that I cut & appliqued to a linen ground--machine stitched with threads of green pink and blue. 16x16 feather and down insert.
