As a professional artist, Jeanne Walker creates pictures in this tradition of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShe weaves, exhibits and sells a specialized version of handwoven pictures known as Transparent Tapestry. When displayed in windows or back lighted, see-through areas contrast with opaque segments of the pictures and give them a unique mystical quality. She often frames them between two pieces of UV-protected plexiglass or in free standing room dividers. Created on large tapestry looms, the pictures are one of a kind. Despite the fuzzy nature of fiber, she weaves portraits that reveal the demeanor of a subject: a haughty lift of the head, a compressed mouth, a wrinkle-weary forehead, the coy turn of an ankle. Because no threads clutter the back, pictures are equally smooth seen from both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTransparent Tapestry: Ancient Art, Modern Method\u003c\/i\u003e weaves together threads of the \u003ci\u003ehistory\u003c\/i\u003e of tapestry weaving, strings of instruction about \u003ci\u003etechnique\u003c\/i\u003e, and yarns about the fine art of handwoven pictures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Us","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614220697751,"sku":"9781401052140","price":1853.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781401052140.webp?v=1775091918","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/transparent-tapestry-ancient-art-modern-method-9781401052140","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
