Full description

There is a legend from the Jatibonicu Taino Tribal Nation of Puerto Rico about a young woman and a young man, who were from rival tribes. Like Romeo and Juliet, they fell in love, precipitating the intense criticism of their family and friends. Nevertheless, the two of them found a way to escape both time and culture. One became a hummingbird and the other a red flower.

I found this beautiful fabric and knew it needed to be a cushion! I have hand painted a small poem which reads

'A flash of harmless lightning

A mist of rainbow dyes

The burnished sunbeams brightening

From flower to flower he flies'

across the fabric in black fabric paint. I have also sewn a couple of vintage buttons in the centre of the flowers.

The back of the cushion is made from cream calico cotton which looks great and is hard wearing. There is an envelope opening on the back so the cover can be removed for washing or plumping purposes.

Cover measures approx 38cm x 38 cm (15''x15'')

Can be washed at 30°
