Fuschia Peacock Pillow


A friend once hinted that maybe I was bi-polar. She is a social worker and she noticed that many of the clients that she worked with who had that condition were very interested in color. Well, even though I am not bipolar (as far as I know!) I do love color - bright, vibrant, eye popping color. But I also like the jewel tone colors - navy blues, forest greens, deep burgundy. Let's not even mention pastels.

Here is a 16x16 Fuschia Pillow with screen printed peacock on the front.
