These are very different works of art. Andraya uses tiny fabric pieces of different sizes as other artists would use paint, to compose a distinctive line uniquely hers. Fabric is cut into very small pieces of less than one centimeter square and then fixed to the stiffened fabric background. Machine sewing, a ‘thread painting’ technique, is used to add dimension and depth to each piece. The boarders of each piece are sewn to the artwork, and quilting is incorporated to create a unity of the various elements.

A wooden dowel or natural wooden branch is added to each piece for hanging.

You can order a piece unique to your specifications. Andraya can work from a photograph or drawing to create a stylized piece especially for you.

These uniquely different hangings are fashioned on stiffened black fabric backgrounds and displayed on wooden dowels with attached cords.

Individual pieces of cotton fabric are hand-dyed, hand torn, and painted by hand, then affixed to the background. Other items used in this artwork have been created only for these projects. Clay Goddess and Gods lend a mystical sense; sigils and other primitive objects give a distinctive ancient impression. Wire and bead work are used to enhance the piece further through the use of creative negative space. Finally various types of paint are incorporated to finish the hanging.

Many customers have chosen to use these pieces as they would mandalas, together with their meditative practice, to reach their inner planes. Remember, custom orders are welcomed.
