Barbed-wire Cushions

I found myself in the soft furnishing department of a 'home improvement' centre.

I began thinking about the idea of home, and comfort.

And thought about the almost infinite variety of cushions that have appeared in the world in the last few years.

This inevitably led me to think about the current refugee crisis.

Thousands of people who are literally carrying everything they possess on their backs, having left their war-ravaged cities and homes.

It's a splinter in the ointment idea I know, but nevertheless I though it would be fun to make some, perhaps not with real barbed wire though.
