One of the things that makes this 'Odds and Ends, Bits and Pieces' collection stand out is its excellent use of color. The subtle variations within the chosen shade create a watercolor effect. The weaving technique can be applied to a number of projects and needs not be limited to old blankets. The concept is eco-friendly because it uses recycled materials that are readily available as discards.
The furniture framework is constructed of discarded wooden beams painted white. Old blankets were woven to make the functional surfaces.
