Black & White Accent Pillow with the Chinese Glyph for “Love”
Love — sometimes its just black and white!
This is a very elegant pillow. It would look great in a wide variety of situations and decors. (This design has been very popular. Our last pillow with this design sold quickly.)
This is a one-of-a-kind custom accent pillow. The design used is the Chinese symbol for love. The thread color is black. The pillow size is approximately 12″ x 16″ x 4″. The center panel is white. The side panels are black. The white and black fabrics are very soft. The back has a black and white checkered pattern. Note the decorative black trim on each side of the center panel.
Inside, there is a new, soft, high quality pillow insert.
The design has a simple but elegant oriental feel. This is perhaps the most widely known of the Chinese symbols.
The symbol is the character, 愛, “ài.” This is pronounced like the English word, “eye.” It translates: to love, affection, to be fond of, to like. On this pillow, this symbol is about 3.25 inches tall.
(To check the translation, the website archchinese is recommended.)
The type of calligraphy used — its “font” — is a simplified font that has nice curves, is elegant, and digitizes well. This is not a machine font in an embroidery machine. Each part of the character has been digitized by hand. The character's strokes actually stitch out in the correct order as if a professional Chinese calligrapher was drawing them.
John researched the design, researched the translation, and digitized the design. Beth created the pillow design and did the embroidery. Beth uses great computerized embroidery and sewing machines that allows her to easily reproduce this design.
This pillow would be a very useful asset for an interior decorator, or for a real estate agent staging a home.
This Embroiderglyph's design would also be great on a purse, a tote, or sweatshirt. If you prefer, we can easily make this design with or without the English “Love” underneath.
If you would like something else in Chinese, please, let us know. John already has translated over 500 popular Chinese words, phrases, and idioms that he can digitize. Chances, are he can do something custom.
(In general, there would be no digitizing fee for generic Chinese characters or phrases, since we can reuse them in the future.)
