ENDEAVOR Woven Blankets
ENDEAVOR Woven Blankets
Need a little more color in your life? Try on this 100 % pure cotton woven blanket for size. You can hang it on a wall, throw it across the back of your sofa or in your car for a charming picnic spread. Each blanket is woven in vibrantly dyed yarn from 195 color combinations with the backing made a mirror image color negative of the front to bring one of Jennifer S. Levine's original paintings to life. The blanket is washed after weaving. The yarn contracts for a firm hold. Then, the piece is finished with a 2 IN fringe to prevent fraying and frame the design. Due to the process, size can vary + / - .5 / 1 IN.
Machine wash in cold water. Mild detergent. Gentle cycle. Do not bleach or wring.
ABOUT THE PAINTING:
ENDEAVOR: Acrylic on Canvas, 3 x 2 FT.
Endeavor means to exert oneself to do or effect something, strive. It’s sloppy. It’s messy. It’s not always straight-forward but it’s progress. The thing is, we all try. Sometimes we forget to honor our efforts, with each other and ourselves. I love creating this pattern and will be exploring it more. The warm colors on the vertical plane juxtaposed to the cool colors on the lateral just pulls the viewer forward towards the center and gives the feel of momentum. This piece perfectly closes a productive week for me, hope it does the same for you.
