Pumpkin seeds must be very resilient because this green pumpkin seeded itself from our compost and was inadvertently planted in our garden this spring. The growth pattern is fascinating with its curly growth from the stem, massive leaves, and progression to new flowers. I spent three days capturing it with my camera along with my Verde Cosi "Wavy Leaf" table linen, deep orange nasturtium, and my Mother's vintage dish which the light passes through. Please purchase Verde Cosi "Wavy Leaf" table linen for your table this fall.

On July 4, 2019 a lovely customer from Maine found Verde Cosi and ordered several pillows  - she had been looking for over a year for just the right salmon colors and design.

It was a pleasure to make these pillows and create custom tassels to coordinate with my Verde Cosi Crane and Ranunculus bright pink and salmon fabric.

You can order these pillows too! (links below) If you would like custom tassels, please contact suzanne@verdecosi.com

Some of my most detailed, subtle as well as graphic fabrics were chosen for this lovely family of five in Connecticut, who commissioned Verde Cosi to design window seat cushions and pillows for two rooms. We kicked off the project in December and delivered at the very beginning of April 2018. We started off by consulting with our customer in their home with my many fabric samples. Monica chose Verde Cosi "Delicate Flower" for her guest bedroom's window seat cushion and pillows. The existing rug had a bit of light ocean teal in which we combined in some of the pillows in a solid linen. I added details like fringe and pom poms to the hand made pillows. The cushions are wrapped in down feather for added softness. The pillows are down feather as well. The exterior fabrics are 100% linen.

For the dressing room nook Monica chose Verde Cosi "Camille Burst" fabric in a deep blue/grey with hints of dusty purple in the design. I created a mini pillow with fringe and scented the pillow on the inside with organic lavender. For back support and comfort, I designed a short lumbar pillow with fringe details. The dusty purple and grey compliment the light brown shelving in the dressing closet. Verde Cosi "Camille Burst" fabric also added a spa feel to the sunken tub area just outside the dressing closet. 

From personalized name pillows, to soft, oversized, fun Verde Cosi "Brigitte" and "Camille light blue mini burst" pillows. The children were as happy as their parents when I walked through the door with Verde Cosi cushions and pillows to cozy up their loving abode.

We are currently booking commissioned fine art and upholstery with Verde Cosi products. Please contact us through our main website http://www.verdecosi.com to book a consultation today. We currently work on the East coast of the United States.

It was Friday afternoons while my kids were taking swim lessons that I started the sketchbooks. I was at my happiest during those times because I knew my children were having a good time. I was a graphic designer specializing in packaging by profession and started a fascination with flowers while on a photoshoot in Boston. I was trying to add something to the set design when the photographers suggested I go across to the flower market and buy some flowers for the shoot. That was it, I’ve never been so overwhelmed with beauty my whole life! I was hooked. Since then I have been on an endless pursuit to document unusual floral specimens - for years I have been photographing, painting, and drawing flowers. After a while with those sketchbooks, while my children were at swimming and other activities, designs just came to me, they were related to flowers but not so literal. I discovered surface design while taking courses at Rhode Island School of Design - I love the decorative aspect of creating patterns for products and textiles. My teacher suggested I sell my work as art and so Verde Cosi was born. Over the course of two years, I kept coming back to interpretive drawings for ranunculus. The initial design did not have birds in it. I decided to add birds and found that they are as interesting and diverse as flowers and plants.  “Crane and Ranunculus” was introduced at my first juried show back in March of 2013. This collection revolved around my studies of the ranunculus flower. One of the most difficult flowers to draw. I came up with my own interpretational drawing of the flower which I could not stop looking at. I knew at that moment that I needed to do something with that image. Drawing is very important in many of my fabrics and if you look closely you can see the texture of the line. That is why I like to do juried shows - it allows customers to see my work in person - all of the texture of the art on fabric and the texture of the fabric itself! FUN, FUN, FUN!!!
