Joy Applique: an embroidered throw pillow. Raised thread work over a woven ground, dimensional and made to survive real use.
The layer a neutral room is missing. Put it next to a plain velvet or a solid linen and let the stitch work be the detail.
JOY spelled out in applique letters across a cream boucle ground, each one in a different color, pink, green and gold, and embroidered with small flowers and berries. The nubby ground plays against the smooth letters. Texture first, message second.
