🌿 What makes it special?
This wall art is crafted from barkcloth, a traditional textile made from the inner bark of certain trees like the mulberry or fig. The process involves several meticulous steps:
___ Harvesting: The inner bark is carefully stripped from the tree, ensuring sustainable harvesting without harming the plant.
___ Soaking: The bark strips are soaked in water to soften the fibers.
___ Beating: The softened fibers are pounded with wooden mallets, aligning them to form a cohesive sheet.
___ Drying & Embellishment: Once dried, the barkcloth can be painted, dyed, or sewn into various designs like the one depicted here.
This traditional method results in a strong, flexible, and eco-friendly textile with a distinct texture and durability, making it ideal for various artistic expressions. 🌟
