Item
These fun lavender pillows are printed with the letters of the alphabet or with some pretty flower designs. Pillows are about 3.5 by 3.5 inches, the outside is 100% silk, and there is a cotton layer on the inside. They are filled with delicious smelling dried lavender buds. I use different silks to print the letters and images on, such as crepe de chine, silk noil, dupioni or silk broadcloth. Backing is hand dyed silk in a coordinating color. (Winner choose color & letter)

Bio
Kati has a degree in Textiles and a background in Graphic Design. A couple of years ago she decided to start her own company, Artful Beginnings LLC. As a mom she is always surrounded by amazing artwork - on the fridge and in piles on the shelf, the walls and everywhere else. Her original idea was to custom print kid's artwork on silk and then turn it into scarves, table runners, pillows and others. After a chance conversation with a friend in a wedding related business she thought Kati should develop some wedding designs as well. Kati loves doing custom work, and coming up with new ideas to incorporate custom printed silks into celebrations and everyday objects. She haa a (very) small studio in Vermont, and creates everything by herself, from her business cards to her logo and website and every design she has. She uses clipart for some of her designs, which she likes to manipulate and combine. She recently started doing some watercolors and oil pastels as well. She hopes to expand her business and have employees, but right now it's just her and the occasional help of family!
