Description

Each $5.00 ticket gives you a chance at winning a pair of Hmong pillow covers and a matching wall hanging. The set are made by Hmong people in Lao Cai Province, Vietnam, and are made from wax resist batik, indigo dyed center cotton panels that were originally used in traditional baby carriers and women’s jacket shoulder decorations. They were upcycled into these lovely pillow covers and wall hanging which are bordered by village raised, hand-spliced, spun, and handwoven hemp. Each of the pieces were also appliquéd or embroidered, and the backing is cotton with a zipper closing on the pillows. The wall hanging has dragon “coin” decorations. This raffle package was donated by Above The Fray: Traditional Hill Tribe Art, a family business owned by WARP Board Member Maren Beck and her husband Josh Hirschstein. Above the Fray ventures to the hill-tribe regions of Laos and Vietnam to personally select the world’s most exquisite hand-woven silk, cotton, and hemp textiles directly from the hill tribe artisans. A diverse selection of shawls, scarves and other art is woven of village-raised materials using traditional looms. Each textile is carefully chosen for quality, precision, color-play, and charm, and a photo of the artist with that one-of-a-kind piece is often available. Products and information about the artists, motifs, natural dyes, and more can be found on their website hilltribeart.com.
