Inspire Me Thursday - Medical Art

It took me forever to get where I wanted to be with this project.   I wanted to use some science diagrams from an old text book, but  getting them where I wanted was a challenge!   The goal was to get them on fabric.   The problem was that I couldn't make mirror images and had to find another way to do it rather than use transfer paper. 

I managed to get one pillow done, but have 4 more to go for a set.  The text on the spine pillow says:

"Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well."

Vincent Van Gogh

It fits quite nicely along my back.

Recycled materials:  Fabric for pillow and for stuffing.
