Birds of Aotearoa (New Zealand)

 
This one was a bit of fun - I made it for some friends in Auckland, to go on their retro blue velour sofa.  It's a large European cushion cover (65cm) created from a vintage scarf.  mb

The Slaying of The Dragon

 
 
 
A set of four small cushion covers created from a single vintage scarf.  Each depicts a different character of a medieval tale:  the princess in the tower, the king, the wizard and the dragon.  A fun and unique series to own, they are currently for sale in my online store.  mb
