iCONS Featured in ilovedinomartin

Anyone who truly knows me, knows just how proud I am of my husband Aristotle Allen, for far too many reasons to list or count. 

Here's another proud wife moment. My husband's beautiful work with primitive dolls has been noticed & today he is being featured on ilovedinomartin! 

God has blessed my sweetie with SO much talent...and might I add, computer hacking skills to match. 

Thank you Dino Martin Peters for the feature! All of you Martin & Lewis Fans should drop by his site for all things Dean Martin.

Don't forget to check out the other wonderful dolls & canvas artwork Aristotle has created!

Faith Bigger Than Your Fear Crimson Toile Pillow Cover

* Crimson Toile Custom Made Inspirational Faith Throw Toss Pillow Cover  16" 

$12 + $3.75 shipping SOLD

* Lovingly handcrafted by me for you!!! Custom orders are welcome! Need something in a different color/quote? Feel free to contact me.

*  Inspirational words "Let Your Faith Be Bigger Than Your Fear" grace the center of this cover.  This item makes a wonderful gift!

* Each pillow cover will need a 16" pillow insert. Inserts can be found at any home goods store. You can make your own or just stuff with polyfill & stitch up the back, or close with safety pins or just reclaim an old pillow that you may have lying around the house. 

* Each pillow cover measures approximately 15" x 15".  I usually make my covers a little smaller than the pillow to get just the right plumpness & fullness. (The photo shows the cover enclosing a 16" pillow insert).

* The pillow covers will arrive with folds. 

* The back of each pillow cover is finished envelope-style for easy removal of insert. This item will need to be ironed after each wash. I recommend washing inside out and covering the letters with a cloth when ironing. Due to handcrafting, no two items are alike. Due to handcrafting, please expect a small variance in size.

* I used French seams on the interior of this pillow cover. So, there are no raw edges. Interior stitches have been reinforced.

* This item is the perfect pop of color & romance for your bed, sofa, chaise or favorite chair.

* I enjoyed creating this pillow cover & hope that it's exactly what you're looking for to decorate your home.

* This item will be folded & shipped in an envelope. Thanks for understanding!

Faith Working Through Love Mixed Media Collage

This piece was created with a special customer in mind. The focal point is an image of Mary Cassatt's "Margot Standing in a Garden." It's such a beautiful image. The canvas is made of recycled materials. I've added a flower (of course), beads at the bottom & a bead hanger. This sparkly piece is also accented with vintage sheet music, vintage pattern paper & the verse "The only thing that counts is faith working through love" (Galatians 5:6).

I really enjoyed creating this piece.  I love how it came out. It measures approximately 8" x 10". It is signed on the back. 

This piece was also created from recycled materials. The focal point is  Frank W. Benson's "Two Boys." It measures about 8" x 10" and I enjoyed creating it. It's also signed on the back.

Pearls & Charms Red Romantic Chic Toile Custom Made Accent Pillow

We've got pearls, charms, toile & lace!!!

This custom-made pillow was handcrafted using a designer toile remnant & beautiful red lace from a vintage piece of lingerie (Perfectform half slip). It has been accented by hand with vintage buttons, faux pearl beads, silver-tone charms, a washer & an embroidered "Engine" patch. I'm working on a similar one with pink lace. I'll load it up when it's complete.


This pillow measures approximately 10" wide & 9 1/2" high. 


I really enjoyed creating this pillow & hope you'll consider giving it a new home. This pillow will fit in nicely with any grouping of pillows. Add a touch of elegance to your decor with this custom-made pillow.

This item is currently listed for sale on eBay.  However, I love custom orders & enjoy the challenge of creating a special item you'll feel proud to add to your home decor!!!

Rose Toile Custom Made Designer Pillows

I love roses & was so happy when I found a Hunter Douglas fabric sample book at my local thrift store. Both of these pillows were created using red & lavender toile.  The red pillow is accented in the center with a monogrammed linen hand towel. The lavender pillow is accented in the center with a gorgeous Cowtan & Tout lace remnant that I had been holding onto until just the right project. I also added faux pearl beads around the perimeter.

Measuring about 9 1/2" x 10", these pillows are great accents for any room. They provide the perfect pop of color. They're great for layering & mixing & matching.

I'm happy to say that both pillows have found new homes with two wonderful customers who support my work. While I don't have anymore of this particular designer fabric, I do have other fabric that is only available to the interior decorating trade. I happily welcome all custom orders. Please feel free to contact me if you have a particular decorating wish. I'd love the opportunity to come up with something special just for you!
