Hand painted Pillows



This past week I worked on a special order ...... TWO ... BIG .... Pillows !

Each pillow is 18 by 18 inches . It was stressful , challenging, and FUN .  I'm so happy with these pillows and it made me think that I want to make more BIG pillows or a large wall hanging { painted and quilted } ...or canvas floor rugs
well ... my mind is racing around with ideas .  Has anyone out there ever made a painted floor rug ?
I'm wondering how they hold up .

There's so much I want to do !
have a wonderful weekend

** update ** both are sold .... going to Pennsylvania !

    Love them both but especially the Elephant one!
    I once made a very small floorcloth, a million years ago and always wanted to make a BIG one.
    Dixie is right, you have to seal them with poly. I have some marine sealer that I used to seal a painted rock for outside, and I bet that would work also.
    Very cool! girl, you are on a roll!!!
