You could get it laser cut in thick felt at a place like Ponoko.com. It will be soft for your back and the laser will burn the cut edges so it looks aged.

Purple is a difficult color to use but with the right hand, it can be absolutely amazing. Eggplant, in particular, is so versatile and regal looking - not feminine at all. I almost consider it a neutral!

i second the suggestion to dye your own fabric. it's the best way to get the exact color you're looking for, especially if you're using cotton.

buy the sheet you want in white and the dye at an art supply store. don't be afraid to mix colors if they don't have the perfect one.

you can either use the washing machine or just a big tub. tub: make sure to unfold the fabric and move it around constantly while it's in the tub so it doesn't become blotchy. (if you use a washing machine it will agitate it for you)

washing machine: you'll have to reset the cycle several times before it drains so the dye has time to set. lastly, rinse in hot water so all of the color leakage happens before it's on your bed. easy!

You can find a similar fishbowl to #1 at Pier One for $35 - not a whale, but pretty cute!
