As an artist, I'm interested in relationships between color, plane, and line in a way usually achieved by painting. But paint tends to draw your mind towards thoughts about the thickness or thinness of paint on the brush and how the artist's arm must've moved to produce this or that stroke. Beading is the same action regardless of the color one is working on and still produces a rich and complex surface. That and the familiarity of the medium allows the design and the way it registers with and against the pixelation to shine.
Every tapestry is one-of-a-kind. I will never produce another one using the same design, regardless of changes to color scheme or other minor variation. Unless stated otherwise, fashion accessories and jewelry are part of non-editioned lines and I will produce more to keep up stock.
Despite their weight, on most walls several brads (small nails) suffice to hold up a tapestry. I recommend three spanning the top of the tapestry that stay close to the shape of its upper edge, and at least two lower, towards the middle. Then just poke the nails through the space between two rows. Tied fishing line can also work if you have a picture rail.
Each tapestry is a production of around 10,000 beads that takes around 100 hours to lovingly string together.
