Tree of Life Pattern in Canton and Mimosa Color

Raksha Bella Organic’s newest Collection of eco-friendly pillowcases, quilts, shams, and duvet covers combine the graceful art of Indian color blocking with sustainable fabrics for one of a kind delicate patterns. Carrie Peter, founder of Raska Bella and ex-interior decorator, founded Raksha Bella after her spiritual journey to India. During her visit, she was struck by the enormous poverty of the Indian cotton farmers, whose farms were destroyed by the use of the modified cotton crop. At the same time, she was entranced with the finely handcrafted textiles featuring age old color blocking techniques.

Her mission in creating Raksha Bella Organic was to restore dignity and wealth to the Indian farmer’s industry and to bring to highlight the beautiful color blocking techniques that she witnessed. The name Raska Bella means as follows: Raksha means protection in Sanskrit, and Bella means beautiful in Latin.

The samples that I was sent were absolutely beautiful. The pictures on my site do not give the patterns justice.  They are delicate and intricate with a creamy off-white background. This 225 thread count line is SKAL and GOTS certified and uses AZO-free low impact dyes. In addition, the manufacturing process employs fair labor practices. In addition to the pattern pictured above, the Collection features the following designs:

Your main goal should be to make your room or home as comfortable and attractive to your taste as you can. The creation of theme groups of art images is a great way to decorate your walls and your home decorating. These theme groups can be done with any combination of sizes and subjects as long as they match or contrast nicely with your wall and environment colors. http://decoration-ideas.blogspot.com .
