This is a jacquard “edition” of the original weaving. Much like print making traditions, I have woven limited editions made at a more accessible price point.

It’s so pleasant to see my work at this scale with this interpretation. It makes me fantasize of being a part of a tapestry workshop and producing large scale works. This is now a rarity.

The colors differ from the original due to the set colors in the warp and weft. The warp is a multi color combination and the weft yarns are black and white. The weave structure determines how the hue appears.

The blankets are meant to be used functionally. They can be hung but I prefer these to be washed and loved for warmth and comfort.
 
I am only making five of these editions.  Each edition is signed with the edition number.
 
The last image in this listing is the original weaving.  Here are a few words I used to describe the why of this piece: AQUAMARINE is her name. In weaving this piece, I wanted a share my fantasy of swimming underneath a kelp forest and looking up at the sky. This started with a 5 minute sketch that was 3”x 5” and grew into a 28” x 21” woven tapestry.  The original is also for sale in another listing and is the last image in this listing.
