Art for your Couch!

It seems I just can't stop blogging about them.....yes that's right cushions again! Saw these ones....and kept seeing them with popped eyes! :-) This is what they call eye candy I think! These lovely embroidered cushions done by Indian artisans designed by Lovisa Shergill & Mitali Seth of 'Allem Studio'. The design studio is based out of  Marietta, Georgia(Anupu...yes... your neighborhood!;-)).
As they mention, the designs are unique, colourfull, vibrant and happy! Indeed a very good blend of old & new! They also have table linens.Check out their online store here. and their facebook page here. And yes do have a look at their blog.


My favorites are the round ones with camel, horse and ox.

I am obsessed with this wonderful form of embroidery from Central Asia. In trend for quite some time, the work is every where! Furnitures, bolster pillows, throw pillows(cushions), bed linen, wall hangings, curtains/blinds, bags,shoes....to mention a few. The colours and patterns are so overwhelming! Want to know more about them?...Find it here and here.
Also checkout these on line stores...Usbek Crafts.Yurdan.com., Tessera & Material Recovery.
