Cut two 20 1/2" squares from the white fabric and place one on a flat surface; lightly moisten the fabric.
Pour a dollop of Shimmer Pearl, Shimmer Brick Red, Shimmer Oriental Red, Shimmer Wine and Shimmer Chocolate onto the palette.
To create the plaid design use the round brush, and paint stripes going in one direction, using each paint and varying the thickness and color placement (8); allow to dry.
Repeat to paint perpendicular stripes. Stop and start some strokes at the previous stripes to create a woven look (9).
Paint the second fabric square using the large flat brush and one of the colors. Dry and press the squares.
With right sides facing and 1/2" seam allowances, stitch the two squares together. Leave an opening on one side for inserting the pillow form. Turn right side out, and press the edges flat. Insert the pillow form and stitch the opening closed.
Small Square Pillow
MATERIALS
1/2 yard of white cotton fabric
14"-square pillow form
Cut two 14 1/2" squares from the white fabric, and place one on a hard flat surface; lightly moisten the fabric.
Pour a dollop of Shimmer Pearl, Shimmer Brick Red, Shimmer Oriental Red, Shimmer Wine and Shimmer Chocolate onto the palette.
Using the large flat brush, loosely paint the square with the Shimmer Pearl. Paint some large strokes of Shimmer Brick Red over the Pearl without trying to cover the entire surface. Continue in this manner to add Shimmer Oriental Red, Shimmer Wine and Shimmer Chocolate to create a layered effect (10).
Using the same color as for the plaid pillow back, paint the second fabric square. Allow to dry; press. Finish as for the large pillow.
