Wave Sakura - 18"
My oldest step-daughter spent a year abroad during school studying in Japan. She brought home a love of sakura trees and infected me with it! The stems on these pillows are taken from an original hand drawn image first created for the lace I made for her wedding gown. The line of dragonflies down the side is one of a handful of traditional Japanese patterns found in Sashiko embroidery. Sashiko is a very old form of hand sewing using simple running stitches. The Japanese word Sashiko means “little stabs“. 
 
The illustrations on the pillows are first hand drawn from my imagination with a silk painting resist, then painted with high quality silk dyes I custom mix to my own hues. After painting, the silk is steamed to set the dye making these completely colorfast and hand washable! After steam setting, the Asian influenced design was embellished with metallic gold silk fabric paint to create the stamen in the blossoms. These are truly one of a kind pieces of textile art for your home!

I can’t say enough about Carrie’s work. She makes every stroke and every stitch with so much care and it shines in everything that she does. She makes it so that I can have those reminders in my home or something just tucked away in my pocket. And to get something like that as a gift just makes you feel incredibly special, incredibly loved! It’s made me feel that way anyway!

When our grandson and his fiance announced that they would be married in Zion National Park in Utah, I knew immediately I wanted to wear a color that would be perfect with the red rocks of Zion, and I also knew who could create what I wanted- Carrie Wright whose silk creations are magic. Covid 19 forced a change of wedding venue to Brown County, IN, but the event lost nothing in translation. Neither did my beautiful silk ensemble which received many complements! It was a wonderful day, and I’m so grateful to Carrie for creating the perfect skirt for me!

The first time that I saw Carrie’s work was when her beautiful banners were displayed on the walls of our church’s sanctuary. For a long time I was not aware that she was the one who created them! Once I learned that Carrie was the artist, I strongly encouraged her to open a business so that others could enjoy her gifts and talents. I know I wasn’t the only one encouraging her to do this! This past Mother’s day, one of my daughters surprised me with one of Carrie’s beautiful scarves. It’s a gift that I will forever cherish! If you’re looking for a unique gift to give a special friend or loved one for any occasion, I highly recommend one of Carrie’s gorgeous creations!

My husband and I hired Carrie for three different jobs here at our place. She created these beautiful banners with verses or songs as we asked her to. She would come in the room and look around and really know the dimensions it should be, the colors, the patterns. And the thoughts behind our ideas she could really interpret a result that was just fantastic! Her color choices were just awesome, and the richness of the fabrics and the color combinations were just wonderful! The work itself is exquisite! We’re very thankful for her creativity, for the results in these messages that these works of art communicate to everyone that walks through the door. We’re just really thrilled with the results!
