Flora - indigo cloth / wall hanging
Alchemy of plant indigo at its finest! This hand stitched design is created with the ancient art of stitched resist. The design is stitched into the cloth, meticulously pulled tight, many knots are tied, and finally, the bound piece is dyed several times in an organic indigo vat.
Many small stitches create the map for a piece of stitched shibori. Each stitch, a meditation. Step by step, a small stitch becomes part of something greater than itself. Every step of the process holds beauty, lessons and reminders of patience and possibility.
The final result is planned, but it is always a unique + exquisite surprise.
Created as an intention for your home and heart; be it hanging on your wall, adorning your dining table where you gather, or warming your meditation or alter space. A sacred piece of cloth that reminds you of what is true, that creation takes time, and that beauty abounds.
