On this Folk art craft a hemp sisal
natural fibre Matte is used for the background foundation
used of the main art. Most of the project is made with the
leaves and back of the banana plantain plant tree, colour and
masking is used to enhance the look and give it
colour,
It is made with unique unusual medium. The mediums
are all natural fibre. Banana plants are rare away from the tropics
for they fair better on tropical climates.
This was a form we tried for a
while which now the market for the letaher like material has
changed to where it was not meeting the market value for the
finished product, now we do special orders and i still carry this
from my earlier inventory.
They are made in a mosaic puzzle
like format. The figures are made with the outside parts of the
bark of the tree which has more grains and the background with the
smoother inside that has more of a smoot finish and has diffrent
colour intensity.
The foundation of this abstract is made using a
weave of sisal and hemp and has a manila backing for stability and
framing too.
This is a handy low sale
gift.
The dimentions are, 17 and half
by 11 and half inches.
