American artist Rhonda Smith prints sewer manhole covers on fabric, and then creates pillows from this fabric.
The size of the work of the American woman corresponds to the manhole covers. The two halves have a similar design. But upon closer examination, it is clear that these are still two halves of one whole.
Rhonda Smith's pillow collection features prints reminiscent of manholes from London, Moscow, New York, Geneva and other cities. Some items duplicate medieval images of manhole covers. Others are completely modern, even futuristic.
The craftswoman uses shades of gray and orange as the main colors. The woman is not far from the original images. Because he wants everything to be as close to reality as possible.
First, Rhonda Smith looks for a suitable image. She uses photos from the web or her own memories. Then he creates a sketch of the future pillow, transfers it from paper to fabric.
The fabric with the finished image is cut out in the shape of two halves and sewn. In some cases, Rhonda Smith simply puts a zipper or other fastener between them so that the filler can be cleaned and the case changed.
Recently, the American woman began to take orders for the manufacture of pillows. She maintains her blog, where she publishes photographs of finished products.
