Pictures by Peynet

I have a few precious vintage scarves which I am making up into cushion covers. I have made each cover in such a way that the scarf is not cut up at all, but simply folded and stitched!
My favourite is a whimsical French one - so - I really was pleased to read Heather Moore's article on illustrator Raymond Peynet a while ago. His work appeared on porcelain, dolls, books, medals, statues and my scarf!The drawings are so simple and they tell a love story! It is going to be very hard for me to put this on my etsy shop, but it will be there soon!

  1. Beautiful! I like the idea of using the scarf without cutting it as well.

  2. Oh it is so whimsical and I love the fact that you've kept it in one piece.

  4. (Today is one of those days when my system just would not show your post - I've checked 5 times during the day - glad you are here!)
    Wow, the pictures convey an entire story, with a sense of the mood.
    "Whimsical" is such a lovely word to describe this!

  5. What a lovely idea I just love it. To bad I don´t have any scarfes, except the one I just around my neck when I´m blogging (the aircon is blowing right at me:-)

    Have a great coming week
