“Reboot your living room with this three pillow set. Light gray pillows look as if they’ve jumped right off your keyboard. Set of three pillows. Made from Eco-Felt (100% recycled Plastic bottles!) these 12″ pillows are soft yet durable. Backs have envelope enclosures so the pillow inserts can be removed for easy washing. Machine wash cold with like colors then tumble dry on low. The letters featured are completely hand cut so please allow for minor differences from the pillows pictured.

Carla Fox is a very skilled jewelry maker who is continuing a long family tradition of metalsmithing here in Oregon. I’m friends with her daughter Sarah Fox who is also a very accomplished jewelry maker and local video producer (and a one hell-of-a fiddle player). Sarah sent me a YouTube video (produced by her brother) that takes a closer look at the process her mom takes to create some of her amazing pieces. Video Link.
It’s also interesting to look at both of their work side-by-side and see how they have influenced each other.
