Traditional Series / Lefkoniko - Handwoven cushion cover
Handwoven cushion cover with bright coloured stripes as used in the Cypriot traditional Lefkoniko weaving. The basic colours, red, orange, yellow, green and blue give the cushion cover a happy carefree look.
Small cross like designs -the stavrouthkia- decorate some of the wide stripes. They are in woven, as in the traditional way by counting the warp threads and inserting the coloured threads forming the cross-like designs among them. Nowadays very few old women carry on doing lefkoniko weaving so I am trying to preserve the Lefkoniko technique through this design.
