Once I finished a couple of forms, I realized there was no way to get a pin frog into them. Duh! I did manage to put little divots in the inside, but there is no way to know how they will work for flowers until they are glazed and fired.
So, in my mind I went from ikebana to pen-kebana. Yeah, the term leaves a lot to be desired. As I worked on different shapes, they became more pillow-like and hence, pen cushions they are! This last one really illustrates my love of puns.
When the tufting didn't meet on the bottom, I created a seam. Hopefully I didn't take the pun too far!

totally cute!! There used to be someone here in Sedona who made those little pillows--they called them pansy pillows and sold TONS of them!! If you try them with a bunches of little pansies they will look adorable!!
I Love your pen cushions!!
Who knows what other interesting creations reside inside your brilliant mind?--:)
Love it and it really looks like a pillow. Ok how did you do the tufting? in the pillow did you use a stamp? Hummmmmm

what an interesting idea. i've never seen a pen cushion b4. and they'll make wonderful conversation pieces.

I have been making these for several years and they work great for flowers and other things.
