Maggie uses her own original textile designs with hand painted backgrounds using sustainable organic fabrics.
Read below to learn more about the artistic process of creating hand painted pillows.
What type of fabric do you work with?
100% pure silk, 100% cotton, hemp, natural linens and a variety of other eco-friendly fabrics along with Maggie’s fabrics that she designs and hand paints. The hand painted fabrics can be used as yardage and cut to create a wide variety of pillow options. Examples include: hand painted pillows, hand painted seat cushions, hand painted curtains, or anywhere fabric is desired within your home or office setting.
How do you create your line of fabric?
Drawings are created first. When the design is finalized, I paint it with the colors I have chosen for my background and design. Once the fabric has dried, I make the decision on how to use the fabrics. Examples: hand painted pillows, hand painted cushions, hand painted drapes, or sell as yardage.
Do you use other fabrics?
Yes. I use designer fabrics as the backing for the pillows that compliment the design I hand paint on the front panel of the pillow.
What paints do you use?
I use high quality earth friendly fabric paints that are fade proof. The paints leave a very soft finish once dried.
Will the paint stay on the fabric?
Yes. Fabrics are washed and dried to remove sizing. Once hand painted, fabrics are washed again and air-dried and then heat set. Paints will not come off.
How do I take care of my hand painted purchase?
Pillows can be spot cleaned and put in a dryer.
