Novelty pillows shaped like animals

I’m a big fan of unique throw pillows. I have a cat-shaped one on my couch and a giant eye pillow lives in my studio. So when I saw the unique throw pillows by Maria Tilyard, I swooned. The unconventional shapes feature animals and plants that are sewn using vintage velvet fabrics and handmade pom accents.

I appreciate the eco-friendly nature of these pieces, as Maria is repurposing what was once discarded. The artsy recycle has transformed the materials into charming characters that will be cherished years to come.

Maria sells her work through Etsy and takes on custom commissions.
