Description
LIMITED EDITION: TWO AVAILABLE This cover is made to fit a 12x20 or 30x50cm insert HOW MUD CLOTH IS MADE: Mud Cloth (or Bglanfini) is a 100% handmade textile which is produced by the Bambara/Bamana people of Mali in West Africa The cotton is hand-harvested & spun. The cotton is very rustic & is not chemically treated. You may even find bits of the cotton husk which have not been removed! Mud cloth is made by hand-weaving long strips of cotton using a primitive weaving tool. These long strips are then stitched together to create a large cloth The cloth is then dyed by submerging it in a vat of fermented organic material such as tea leaves, leaves from trees, tree bark, & fermented iron-rich mud The cloth is removed from the vat & left to dry in the sun. To achieve darker colors, the cloths must be submerged in the dye vat & dried several times, this process can take many weeks The motifs are often hand-painted using a thick paste of mud, either by hand or using a stencil. Mud Cloth can be seen with traditional motifs & also very modern designs which have come about due to demand from abroad WHAT TO ExPECT: Due to the fact that this is a handmade fabric, there will be variations in color & texture Mud cloth is NOT produced in a factory & it is not bleached so the colors are not extreme white/black The charm of these fabrics is that there are imperfections. The designs are hand-drawn on the fabric rather than printed so expect there to be an organic & irregular design repeat A set of mud cloth pillows will never be identical due to the hand-printed patterns but I do my best to cut them as similarly as possible CARING FOR YOUR MUDCLOTH: Important to note is that mud Cloth is NOT color fast. If it is made wet, the color will bleed & lighten unpredictably If it is washed, it will lighten a lot & it will shrink It is recommended that you dry clean or carefully spot clean only as needed MATERIALS in THIS PILLOW: Mud cloth is made from 100% cotton The secondary material on the pillow is linen The pillow is fitted with a hidden zipper IMPORTANT: THE INSERT IS NOT INCLUDED - check my insert listings if you need an insert ALL SALES ARE FINAL - if you have questions, please ask PRIOR to purchase I make all pillows to order.
