This pillow cover was done with
bedouin-style embroidery
in really pretty shades of teal.

At some point I noticed my camel collection had evolved to include quite a few pillows with camel designs on them, such that I figured they warranted their own page on the web. The first few of these were originally listed as part of Camels on Tapestries.

This camel looks kind of dorky,
but I was fascinated by
how the pillow cover was created entirely
with machine embroidery.
Here's a
close-up
where you can see the stitching.

The front and back of this pillow cover show
the normal and reverse sides of a piece of tapestry fabric.

This is hand-painted silk. I got this from an art festival
in Boca Raton, but sorry, I don't remember the artist's name.

This is a floor pillow which was given to me as a gift.

Here's another bedouin-style embroidery design of camels.
(Although the tails seem too large; they look
almost like dinosaurs.)

This one is another fully machine-embroidered design,
but with a much better-looking camel than the
previous one.

This is a roll-type pillow, made with velvety fabric.

These were described as being Turkish pillows when I
bought them on eBay.
They're a kilim-like weave, both the same design but in
different colors.

I may be adding more pictures here later, as I take more or get additional pillows.
