General information about Color Totems and Fiber Fountains:
Both Color Totems and Fiber Fountains can be used on your walls in singles for a small wall space or in multiples to fit a larger wall space. All fiber wall pieces are protected with fabric protector for additional durability. While most fibers are guaranteed by the manufacturers for color lock, I still would not place these pieces on any walls that get direct sunlight just to prevent any potential fading.
Works For Sale:
Wall Color Totem "A"/Aqua: This totem is hung directly on the wall and is not mounted on a canvas. Approximately 40" x 7", this piece is woven on aluminum and plastic dowels to keep the piece lightweight. Woven with durable poly and poly/cotton blend threads and yarns, this piece also has intricate weaving with non-tarnish, silver coated copper wire for durability and strength.
Perfect for any short wall when hung vertically, this piece may also be hung horizontally for positioning over a couch, bed or other furnishing vignette or on either side of a doorway for decorative emphasis. For some examples of how to use Color Totems, please go to the Gallery/Installations page. Pricing: Please contact me if you'd like to commission this piece in a different color palette, thank you.

Color totems are very effective visually when hung horizontally as shown above.
Style "A" is used on this piece and is indicative of the weaving pattern ie; two small fiber sections in the middle of the piece, surrounded by silver wire weaving. Next, two large sections of dense fiber weaving, etc. Close-up of Weaving: While hard to see in this photo, the dense fiber sections are flecked with tiny bits of silver and gold to coordinate with the silver wire weaving.

Fiber Fountains:
This piece is Fiber Fountain Style "A" indicative of the three aluminum tubes in 5/8", woven or welded together on the top with loose fibers cascading down from each tube. This piece measures 16" x roughly 4', woven with a dense, nubby magenta/periwinkle blue multi-stranded fiber. Additional coordinating colored fibers are added to the cascade. Fiber ends are sealed to prevent fraying.
Fibers used are of the highest quality and range from cashmere, silk, bamboo to cotton. Again, perfect for any long wall space, Fiber Fountains can be used singly for a smaller wall or in multiples with coordinating colors for a much larger wall vignette. Attaches to wall with a small monofilament loop in back.
