Dear Wild Slings' Friends,
Amber is something more than a noble raw material, fossil resin from coniferous trees. Amber is a beauty frozen in time. Inspired by this time catcher, I have woven a wrap that is able to capture the most wonderful memories and absorb them becoming a real amulet.
All traces of the past fascinate us with their tangibility, we can literally touch history. To connect with the past for a while, to feel the moment when the old is intertwined with the new. I had similar feelings when I saw my grandparents holding my children in their arms. I captured this image in my head like amber with a small beetle in it. Thanks to this, this memory will stay alive forever and I will always be able to come back to it. That is why amber has fascinated me for so long, we can see "a moment stolen from the past". A fragment of a leaf, a fern, a beetle or a fly tangled in a spider's web. Each amber is different, no two are alike. Each amber captured a different moment in time, a different story and hides a different hidden beauty. Already in prehistoric times, amber was used as an amulet, bringing good luck to its owner. It will be the same with this beautiful wrap, decorated with fern leaves and insects. And here the magic will begin.
„Ancient brushwood - La resine” I woved from mustard color cotton and my favorite tussah silk, this time with pink, blue, green and yellow numbs, which is famous for its extraordinary qualities - its soft and strong at the same time. Thanks to this mixture, the wrap works perfectly, tightens well and looks phenomenal all the time. This wrap combines everything that I appreciate in my projects - exceptional softness, flexibility and unique design. It is perfect both for the first reeling of a newborn and for carrying older children - it is load-bearing and roomy.
I weave Wild Slings wraps on my own loom which guarantees them the highest quality and attention to every detail. Every wrap is also steam cleaned before being sent.
