Carnival wallhanging Introducing my new Carnival wallhanging. A design – handwoven in the passement-technique – that celebrates color. Passement is the art of handweaving decorative ribbons. A lost technique that I have revived, but in an enlarged and modern format. Carnival is a bright and colourful wall art which is woven with luxury yarns as 100% merino

On June 26 & 27 2021, I had the pleasure to follow Elizabeth Ashdowns Masterclass of Passementerie. What is passementerie ? Passementerie is an endangered craft. It is the art of making elaborate trimmings for clothing or furnishing. According to Wikipedia it’s : Passementerie (/pæsˈmɛntri/, French pronunciation: [pɑsmɑ̃tri]) or passementarie is the art of making elaborate trimmings or edgings (in French, passements) of applied braid, gold or silver cord, embroidery, colored silk, or beads for clothing or furnishings.
From the Metamorphosis serie : “Passementerie”.
This handwoven wall art is made with products which I found in house. I used old buttons, rubber wires, cables, cotton sticks, hygienic napkins and chips bags. More about the creative process can be found here. On my Instagram account you can find more intriguing handwoven art. I like to thank Robyn Spady for her booklet on Passementerie.
