    Napkin Pincushion Charcoal

    Pincushions – a potted history

    22 Jan 2013

    My Pincushion print was initially inspired by the Pincushion protea (Leucospermum Cordifolium) flower, and started out years ago as a papercut.

    Feb b
    I started screenprinting the design onto table runners and napkins, and then included it as part of the Flower Dreams collection launched in 2012, in  five fynbos-inspired colours. And now, I’m listing my Pincushion print as cushion covers too.

      pincushions just happen to be my fave flower, Heather, so this design really makes me happy! I love that your designs often originate from your papercuts…the positive/negative spaces are always so eye-catching. xo
