Fabric Wall Hangings, Spring Poppies Series

Laura brought in a few more fabric wall hangings recently, including one of her Spring Poppies series.  The color in the Poppies series is especially vibrant, the reds really come out well in the process.  The flowers pop out at you against the greens and teals of the background.  She frames them in black and specially designs a mount to complement each piece.

Adding a fabric wall hanging to your wall decor instead of a traditional painting gives a etherial look to the space, allowing you to cover a larger area without dominating a room.  Included in Laura's work is her custom mount, and the Asian inspired wood complements the silk painting by being specially made for each  piece.  The mounts keep the fabric about three inches away from the wall so they get just a slight bit of movement, making the layered image shift and shimmer.

Fabric wall hangings are a beautiful alternative to hanging just another picture.   With minimal care and kept out of direct sunlight, silk paintings like these will give you a lifetime of beauty.  The colors used are transferred into the fabric, displacing the original black.  So you can hand wash them gently and never need to worry about loosing color.  They are at there best with a good, direct light source.  We love the movement and style that these paintings bring to the gallery.
