Chinese Iris - bw Throw Pillow
Chinese Iris is a brush painting of an orchid in traditional Chinese free style technique (Xie Yi) with ink on rice paper.
Orchids are collectively known in Chinese as lan (兰) or lanhua (兰花). They are highly valued for their delicate fragrance and always associated with elegance.
The orchid used to represent good taste and beauty in Chinese traditional culture. They symbolize elegance, nobility and self-respect. They also belong to the "Four Gentlemen of Chinese Painting" - the plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum and represent one of the four seasons!
In Feng Shui Orchids are commonly used as an alternative symbol for the lotus to represent the season summer. Chinese Orchid Paintings are specially associated with women, love, and beauty; and secondly, with virtue, moral excellence. When orchids are depicted flowering together with the sweet osmanthus, which represents the hope of descendants would be thriving and dignitary.
The XieYi technique, also called "Free Style", is painted fresh from the hand and the design of the image is subject to few restrictions.
Xie means to write and Yi the meaning. A famous Master of Chinese painting, said that XieYi indicated the fact of drawing the spirit of the beings. Painting Xie Yi uses many techniques of calligraphy which privilege the spontaneity of the line. Free style paintings are thus very quickly carried out. The image is not really painted but rather written.

Fabric is very nice and of good quality. I like that there are many colors to choose from and you can have a different color on the back side if you choose.The pillow was to be 16" x 16" but ran a bit small. (14.5") Still happy just recommend you get a larger size . Design came out great. Colors were vivid and the overall quality is quite nice. Will definately order again. Highly recommend because it not only shipped super fast but overall I love the results!

I wanted something special for my daughter. I made this for my baby and she will have this in her crib when she is born. It was not pixelated. The picture was very very clear.0

Creator Review
This pillow has a striking design that comes from an original piece of art by artist Debbie Gibbs to celebrate the intersection of identities. It makes a unique gift for anyone wishing to message equality, inclusion, equity and justice. Placed just so in an office or home, it makes a strong statement. We love i on our covered patio/outdoor kitchen. It is holding up very well outside. Outstanding print quality!
