Ikat Mayer Wall Tapestry by Sarah Simpson©
Ikat is the term for dyeing technique used to pattern textiles that employs a resist dyeing process on either the warp or weft fibers prior to weaving. The word Ikat derives from the Indonesian word mengikat 'to tie'. Artisan Sarah Simpson has cleverly recreated the look of this process, without the resist dyeing step. Using warm red tones, pale apricot, cool green, and soft sky blue, with beautiful detailing, Sarah has masterfully created a woven wall tapestry depicting bold patterns reminiscent of Ikat fabrics.
Each fine art tapestry is handcrafted by skilled Artisan Weavers in USA textile mills using between nine and eighteen miles of thread. The tapestries have a 3" Rod Pocket sewn into the top to allow for a tapestry rod for hanging. Or, forego the use of a hanging rod altogether, and display your tapestry directly on your wall using handsome, decorative furniture tacks to hold the tapestry in place (this seems to be a new modern trend). These Fine Art Wall Tapestry Hangings are of superior quality and definition.
The combination of the thread colors and weaving creates a unique art experience that changes with each viewing angle. It draws the viewer into the depth and texture of the image while adding an acoustic elegance to any room decor.
