Ikat - Definition: means “to bind.” It is a very ancient way of creating designs in fabric by resist-dyeing the threads before the fabric is woven. In Thailand, villagers take the weft (crosswise filling threads) and tie tiny bits of plastic onto the threads. The tightly tied areas of thread, when put into the dye pot, resist the color and create a pattern, once the plastic ties are removed.
Long story short, I have been loving all things ikat since last summer. From skirts to decorative pillows distinctive ikat designs always manage to grab my attention.

I love IKAt prints and I seriously love that yellow pillow, I think I need them in my living room. It's a nice way to add color and patters without going overboard!

Very cool. I really like that slip chair.
ReplyDeleteYour comment on my blog made me laugh. Jimmy secretly watched the Bachelorette with me. He just is "using" his computer at the same time while still commenting at every scene.
