I used a quote by Elliston (cut from a vintage kitchen towel) to make this simple pillow.  Devoid of unnecessary ornamentation, the timeless message “How beautiful a day can be – when kindness touches it” comes across as the central focus.  Whenever I use strong words or imagery in my work I always try to minimize the other elements.   This way all of the attention goes towards my main objective – to highlight what’s most important.   And in this case, these words of wisdom from Elliston can definitely stand on its own.
