Pillow 3.13056 , also by Itto, has two large diamonds on the face, this time accented in a rich green outline and lots of sequins. Some of the white on the face is actually a shiny gray thread. Habiba explained that it is mainly used to attach sequins, but if you have some left over you might use it to weave. You can see the full pillow here. The back is plain red in two shades. This pillow measures about 18" x 22" and costs $58.
Pillow 3.13062 is again mainly black and white but this time there are more colors in the accents, including maroon, royal blue and neon orange. You can see the accents better in this close-up. The back is an unusual blue-green with a bit of beige or brown in it. At first I thought it might be a vegetable dye because of the soft color, but it was dyed in a nearby town. Itto made this and the pillows below before she was married, about 13 years ago. This one measures about 18" x 20" and costs $55.
Pillow 3.13065 has an overall design of small diamonds that are outlined in brown yarn and sequins. The white centers of these diamonds remind me of daisies. On the close-up you can see that each diamond has a spot of color in the center, and they include pink, violet, red, neon orange, yellow, green and blue. The back is blue-green and has a bit of a design on one end. The size is about 18" x 20.5" and the price is $55.
Pillow 3.13069 has an overall diamond design with a lot of white between the diamonds. The diamonds are outlined in sequins, and many have color accents in blue and neon orange, and a bit of violet. You can see these in the close-up. The back is blue-green with a bit of a design at one end. This pillow measures about 17.5" x 19" and it costs $55.
