What Difference a Lemon Can Do! Check Out These Pillows!

I love me some lemons. In videos where babies make sour faces as they taste their first lemon. Floating in iced tea. And of course, in home decor! What do I mean you ask?

I enjoy buying fresh lemons and one rainy afternoon, as I cut one up, I thought how fun would it be to lemon as inspiration in a textile pattern! And I was indeed inspired. I patiently waited for the lemon to dry out. Days went by until my lemon was ready to be ... a stamp!

Below you can see the lemon stamp take shape. I dipped the lemon halves into yellow paint to honor the fruit's color and made a bunch of attempts to capture the texture and shape. One of them turned out lovely - it was both recognizable and abstract at the same time.

Once I scanned my art work in, I got to clean up the imprint. I placed in on a rectancle and tested out a bunch of backgrounds only to arrive at a clean modern palette: white and black. Both of these showcase the design clearly and in unique ways. The pillows are a great addition to a space together or on their own.

What's next? I need to take a trip to the grocery store and see what other yummy foods could be used in textile design. It's all about fun and joy, right? So, off I go.
