Honeycomb on orange

A honeycomb-like design from our 20x20 21st Anniversary Exhibition.

"With this design," said artist Jessica Lendvay, "I hoped to inspire my artisan partner through our universal love of geometry, pattern and repetition in design.  I modified a Lynn Ford design from his hand-carved wood screens made for a Scott Lyon's home built for the McDermott family in Dallas around 1970.  The asymmetrical hexagonal pattern implies movement and depth allowing for many interpretations for my partner.  The original pattern may be related to the work of Texas Instruments and the connections made through the development of semiconductors and integrated circuits.  The hexagon shape is also found in the honey bee's instinctively created honeycomb structure.  As bees work together, in community, to create for their collective higher good, they also pollinate most of the world's food.  Through this pattern and the making of this pillow, there is a story of our connection to each other, to the bees, to the earth and our opportunity to do good for each other through our work."

100% of each sale goes back to our women associates. Working to make pillow covers, shawls, table runners and other fiber art items  provides income used to pay for food, medical needs and school supplies and transportation for associates’ children.  Ultimately, it creates dignity and self-respect.
