Ikat Weavings-Wave Series

⁃The wave series is a number of fiber art wall hangings using the ikat technique. This technique is a resist technique applied to the warp threads prior to the weaving process. These wall hangings can be made up to a width of six and a half feet, and any length required for area for it to be installed. FiberArtTv is all about the world of weaving; an art form over 10,000 years old and a fundamental process for existence today! Museums have been established to promote increased appreciation for the history of weaving and other fiber art throughout the world. The everyday needs of our prehistoric ancestors probably led them to create objects using fiber as a medium. Archaeologists believe that basket making and weaving were probably the first "crafts" developed by humans.Today fiber art, textiles, woven materials and objects surround every person. The need for clothing woven from yarn and thread is no longer a basic necessity but a huge billions of dollars industry employing millions of designers, weavers, dyers, sewers, textile mills and fiber artists. My fiber art fascination is with the endless possibilities that can be achieved starting with one simple thread.
