beckoning burlap... I was traipsing around Etsy the other day when I came across these gorgeous hand printed burlap pillows at a shop called My Adobe Cottage. I've been lusting over some vintage floursack pillows for a while, but I can never justify the expense. These cool pillows on the other hand are all around $35/ea. Not too shabby for quality handcrafted work.
I keep having dreams of making something like this myself, but realistically, the odds of getting around to do it are slim to none. Though I am trying to learn the craft of printing by hand. So far it has just been immersed in books about it. Next step is trying to carve my own stamps. I really want to dabble in screenprinting too. I think the last time I screen printed was in my fourth grade art class. If I can get there in skill, I'll finally have an outlet for the textile patterns of my dreams. Until then, I'll gain inspiration from talented handcrafters like My Adobe Cottage.

Those are beautiful pillows! I did screenprinting a few years back, when my friend owned a screenprinting press. It's addictive! I have to learn how to do it at home, never did that before.
Don't you just love Etsy? There are so many creative people doing such great things...these pillows are wonderful and I may have to order some for my new place!
Allison...did you see the bag I bought and posted on my blog? It is made from a burlap sack and other fabric...I love it...I bought it at planetshoes.com and it is called a webe!!!
I LOVE those burlap pillows! and I too think I may be crafty enough to create....but alas...would be kidding myself if I thought I would get it accomplished.
Let us know if you try to tackle it!
