Ode to Ancient Plants was woven on Little Guy Mirrix loom. I discovered vertical soumak in a Root Study done earlier. I knew I needed more detail and the soumak plus the finer warp was just what I was looking for. This piece was a result of a visit to the Ancient Plants Gardens in the Descanso Gardens, California.

8.5” wide, 8” high

16EPI, 20/6 cotton seine twine warp. Weft is Mora for the background worked over 2/2 warp threads and wefts are assorted wools, cotton, and silk.
