Uppymama Synergy
Synergy by definition is the creation of a whole that is greater than the simple sum of its parts.
We have two unique pieces of Synergy available! In this 24hr sealed bid auction only one of these two wraps will be available (winners choice). The remaining piece will then go up for draw following. Sealed bid means you don’t see what anyone else is bidding so just enter the most that you could pay. The Reserve bid is set at $500 CAD.
Our weaver Lisa has pushed herself to new limits to create for you Synergy. There are two pieces on this cotton warp and each dyed using a different technique, but both pieces having a similar style for color placement. The design was inspired by pieces of art by Jaanika Talts Art and Design. Piece 1 (Comp Entry) was 4.9 meters, this piece was layed out flat and dyed using bright flower colors to look like a painted path down the centre of a flower garden, it was woven with hand dyed silk noil weft in a skip weave pattern with natural alpaca . Piece 2 was 4.1 meters and was dyed in chains using darker moody colors, hand dyed supima cotton stellina weft, plain weave with randomly placed rows of skip weave. The auction/draw winners will have the choice to add a middle marker of their choosing.
Piece 1: 100% Cotton warp, Silk noil weft 4.9m
Uppymama is a babywearing company based in Alberta, Canada.
We hand weave, hand-finish and market handwoven and handmade artisan babywearing wraps and sling, and other handmade artisanal products to support attachment parenting and celebrate the love that we have in our families. Uppymama began with Becky, a mama and doula, who has a passion for babies, natural parenting and holistic health. The creation of Uppymama babywearing wraps is truly a mission and passion to share the love of gentle, intuitive parenting through babywearing education.
We believe that an attached babe in a wrap is like skipping a stone in a pond, causing a ripple effect – benefiting not only the infant-parent relationship, but the family as a whole, as well as the greater community that family exists within.
Although it will help you get things done, babywearing is not merely about convenience. Carrying your baby close is first and foremost about connection. (But we won’t blame you if you also feel like a rockstar nursing your baby as you grocery shop hands-free!) A baby’s natural habitat is on mama’s body and our wraps will help you keep your babies close to your heart.
“Babywearing has the potential to positively change and enrich our lives and our culture.” – Becky
