What is a Throw Pillow? 

What Wikipedia says about them.

A throw pillow, or toss pillow, is a small, decorative type of pillow. Throw pillows are usually placed on sofas or armchairs but are also frequently used on beds and day beds. Throw pillows serve both an aesthetic and a functional purpose. Decorative pillows are commonly used to tie in color accents within a room, often drawing on the colors in drapes, walls or area rugs. From a functional perspective, throw pillows provide back, neck and head support.

Throw pillows typically feature a removable cover with a feather pillow form stuffed inside.

Throw pillows come in various sizes and shapes. The most common size throw pillow is 16 to 18 inch square. However, rectangular, circular and cylindrical throw pillows, called bolsters, are also popular. Outside the United States, throw pillows are more commonly referred to as cushions.

Throw pillow and decorative cushions are made from a wide range of textiles including silk, leather, microfibre or faux suede, cotton, linen and hemp. In recent years, decorative pillows have been revived as an artistic medium. Fashion designers have become increasingly attracted to the lucrative home textiles or furnishings market and this has led to a wide range of more embellished looks and styles.

Company logos and photos are placed on pillows as well to give a personalized look.

Orange Pillows 

Indulge in the opulence & vivacious colors of India! These are two very picturesque antique hand crafted, embroidered pillow covers with an Orange color base. Vintage patches from old, precious wedding saris & dresses from India are patched together at random to create a collage like effect. The result is a majestic kaleidoscope of various hues of the base color. If you are fashion savvy, want to be unique, different and set a trend, these are definitely for you. Spruce up your room with this spectacular masterpiece of work. A look at them makes us realize the painstaking & laborious work involved, not to mention days that one piece takes. The entire cover is decorated with all kinds of colored beads, studs, patchwork, raised colored threadwork and embroidery in intricate designs. Part of the hand embroidery is in gold & silver toned metallic threads, springs and coils. The pair has a 0.5" base color trimming as well as similar color backing. Zippers or overlapping slits allow you put in the cushion, filling or insert. These pillow covers are also wonderful as table toppers or as a multicolor tapestry, especially for walls that require a focal point. This pair is guaranteed to bring you lots of compliments and is truly a bohemian crazy, conversational piece of accessory that everyone's room needs.

0.O

I love designing my own clothes, and clothes for my dolls, and hope to one day have a fashion/costume shop in Portland, Maine. There are no Gothic or Lolita or CosPlay or LARPing stores around here, I want to change that.

My clothen style includes velvet, capes, empire gowns, gowns with trains, burnoose, shawls, runas, fishnet hose, striped stockings, combat boots, velvet, top-hats, long dresses, ruffled frilly skirts, cosplay, Gothic, Lolita, Victorian, Edwardian, velvet, frock coats, Alice in Wonderland, vampire fashions, Medieval fashions, crinolines & petticoats, eyelash-fringe fabric, sequins, beads, glitter, lace, cloaks, ruffles, broomstick skirts, stripes, plaid, poet blouses, peasant dresses, fairy tale princess gowns, faerie outfits, wizard-look stuff, big hats, bright colored hats, ballet flats, platforms, anything that Dracula would love to wear, and stuff like worn by Jem*, The Holograms, and The Misfits.

I wear full kimono (layered) after Momoyama styling, more often than I wear anything else. If you are ever in Maine and you see a girl walking around in full kimono or looking like she just walked out of a comic book, than that's me.

I love all things Japanese, esp the cloths from Medieval Japan. I am currently in the process of recreating the outfits worn by the characters of InuYasha, eventually, my entire wardrobe will be switched over to just those and I will wear nothing else.

No I am not wearing a costume. Yes, I really do dress like this EVERY day. No, I do not own any "normal" street cloths. I'm a life actor, that means I dress in CosPlay 24 hors a day, 7 days a week, 12 month of the year, and yes, I have been dressing like this for more than 25 years now.

Yes, I REALLY am making a historical reproduction of Lord Sesshomaru's costume, and yes, I do intend to wear it as part of my daily street cloths, fluffy tail, battle armor, and all.

I am owner of The Twighlight Manor Press and Copper Cockeral Cards & Gifts .
On the internet, I am know as EelKat, my alter-ego, the talking black bobcat from Planet Diona (a character from both my The Twighlight Manor series & The Planet Ptarmargin series, as well as The Chrystonite Chronicles).

In alphabetical order: I like Alan Rickman, Alice Cooper, Alice in Wonderland, anime, birds, candy, Carl Barks, cartoons, cats, C*C*DeVille, Colombo, comic books, CosPlay, Darkwing Duck, David Bowie, Disney, dogs, Don Rosa, Donald Duck, Dr. Who, dvds, eels, Etiole, fashion, Gothic, haunted houses, horror, ice cream, InuYasha, Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp, Kieth Laumer, manga, movies, NegaDuck, peacocks, pigeons, Lord Sesshomaru, Prof. Snape, Retief, roosters, sci-fi, Scrooge McDuck, Sir Roderic, Star Trek, Tom Baker, Twighlight Manor, Uncle Scrooge, video games, Vincent Price, Willy Wonka, writing, X-Files, Xena, Zorro.

I am the creator and Administrator of A Writer's Desk, the forum for writers.


I love cats, dogs, roosters, birds, and esp. eels. (Have or have had pets of all of the above.)
