Hi, I'm Mara with Fiber Art TV.
This horizontal sunset is part of my Sunset Series.
The top panel is wrapped and woven in three layers starting with a range of light to darker yellows, continuing into oranges. The final layer finishes the piece with reds and wine colors. The panel is attached to a wrapped and woven bordering mat in black, with a black metal frame ready for hanging.
This piece reminds me of the September Sunsets on the Cape Cod bay.
Watch more of my work on Fiber Art TV. 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.
