In this foliage and birds tapestry, sprays of leaves spread across the panel with birds threaded through the branches: almost abstract, and very graphic on a wall.
Details
- Size: 22 x 20 in (56 x 52 cm)
- Material: handspun wool
- Dye: coloured with natural plant dyes
- Signature: signed by the weaver in the weave
- One of a kind: woven freehand with no sketch or cartoon behind the warp, so no second copy exists; the photographs show this exact piece.
Hanging it
A small piece that fits a study wall, an alcove or a gallery-wall grouping. The back has no sleeve or rod pocket. A strip of hook-and-loop tape sewn along the top, with its partner on a small wooden batten, holds it flat; a clip rail or a tailor-sewn casing for a rod are alternatives.
Handspun and plant-dyed
Woven freehand in handspun wool and coloured with natural plant dyes, the leaves and birds are placed by eye rather than copied. The weaver signs it in the weave.
