Triangle V, a hand woven tapestry, designed as an abstract art tapestry and hand woven by Myra Reichel is a 4' x 5' x 1/4" hand woven contemporary tapestry from a Series of Tapestries titled "The Law of Three Series". Woven by hand on an upright Tapestry loom (see photograph of Myra's loom showing warped (underlayment of yarns to be cover by another group of yarn called the weft) before the cross yarn called weft is woven through it - the word tapestry means broken thread so instead of the yarn going edge to edge the weft yarn starts and stops to form different areas of color and/or texture ).

Gurdjieff, a s a Reiki Master and Master Teacher of Magnified Healing ® and her love of the paintings of Kandinsky and brings spontaneous choices given her love of Dada Art into her weaving randomly picking yarns from baskets of similar different textures of the chosen color or having visitors to her studio join her int he weaving process. Her love of Dada Art started when she was a child and her parents took her to the


Condition:
Imperfections: No Imperfections
Condition Notes: The tapestry will be attached to the wall by - attaching the board with Velcro onto the wall with screws or nails with heads to hold the board firmly against the wall and the Velcro on the back of the tapestry can attach to the Velcro on the board, it is important to have the tapestry hang slightly away from the wall to allow light and air to circulate around the weaving. You can have Velcro added to additional sides and also get an additional board of 5' to hang the tapestry in a horizontal direction. You would have the board covered with muslin that the Velcro is sewn to. The weaving can be vacuumed with a stocking over the nozzle. I is recommended that you have a professional rug dealer hand wash and dry the tapestry for you. Will need 2 boxes if boards are include or 1 box if I include velcro for the boards and purchasor provides boards and attached velcro.
