Tan & Cream “Hummingbirds in Love”
This is a one-of-a-kind custom accent pillow. The design has an elegant feel. It has a pair of male and female hummingbirds looking at each other.
We have a matching hummingbird pillow made with the same fabrics. (Of course, if you purchase the matching pillows together, we will give you a shipping discount.)
These birds are from third volume of John Gould's five volume book, “A Monograph of the Trcochilidae,” or, the family of hummingbirds—Image 228. John Gould was a famous ornithologist that lived from 1804 to 1881. This book of his was published in 1861 and is now in the public domain.
This particular type of hummingbird is called, “Lesbia Victoriae,” or, “the Black-tailed Trainbearer.” They are found in locations like Columbia, Ecuador, and Peru. The males can be 18-25 cm (7–10 inches) long. Most of that length is in their tail though. The females are 13–15 cm (5–6 inches) long.
The flowers are a very beautiful type of orchid.
This is a very high stitch count design. It is a complex design—with many thread colors. For example, there are over 70 thread color changes.
John researched the design, and Beth created the pillow design. This is only our second item with this design. Beth uses great computerized embroidery and sewing machines for the bulk of the work, then hand sews the final side shut. The fabric has a soft, smooth feel.
This accent pillow would be great for someone:
On request, we could put this design other items, such as purses, totes, pillows or sweatshirts. We could also make this design using a few phrases in Chinese. Like: “Hummingbirds,” or “Love Birds.”
