St. Lucia, Short Version
St. Lucia, Short Version. Mixed Media Tapestry Art. This work of conceptual art is woven by hand on a large loom. I used my own hand dyed cotton fibers and hand dyed US currency. Paper and novelty yarns are woven into the body of the work. All materials are woven together, nothing is added.
The piece is my interpretation of the Caribbean island of St Lucia, floating languidly in the sea. Note the color changes within the sky and sea. This is the due to hand dyeing and creating variegated yarns in the dye baths. The fluffy couds are woven in using a type of novelty yarn.
This art work measures 20" wide by 25" long. Mounting hardware attached, ready to hand. Can be framed by purchaser. Shipping is included in the purchase price.
Shown:
1) Full image of St. Lucia, Short Version.
2) Detail of cloud portion and top of mountain range.

This work had a companion piece, St.Lucia, Long Version, sold separately
Purple Haze Textile Art

The middle portion has bands of violet woven into the background yarn. Fringes are added over top in this portion as well.

Purple Haze Textile Wall Art panel measures 12 inches wide by 48 inches long. Ready to hang.
Domestic Shipping is included in purchase price.
Diamond Light Codes Textile Art
Diamond Light Codes Textile Art by Pamela Palma Designs is a long wall panel woven on a complex loom. The pattern determines the design which is then woven in bands of colors, violet, purple, blue in a specific sequence.
Weaving is a form of code, like an alphabet, or musical notations. This particualr code spoke to me as representing the cosmic influences of the 21st century. Diamond Light Codes is the name that came to me as I created this piece. It represents an undelying structure not normally visible with the naked eye.
My art work is guided by my Muses whom I perceive as timeless beings, Goddesses. They nudge me to work in certain directions, with certain colors. I am their conduit for Universal influences. This project tested my patience to its limits and beyond. It required intense concentration while I prepped/programmed my loom and while I wove the piece, counting out sequences to follow the pattern and the color transitions.
Diamond Light Codes Textile Art measures 14" wide by 38" long. Mounting hardware is installed. The art is ready to hang.
Domestic shipping is included in the puchase price.
Blue Moon Green Cheese
Blue Moon Green Cheese, 34" x 14" wall panel woven by hand on a complex loom. This art work is 1 of 4 in my series of Moon Tapestries. It is my interpretation of a complex weaving pattern for an 8 shaft floor loom, which I reinterpreted to make it my own unique design.
The title, Blue Moon Green Cheese is a nod to an old myth I recall from childhood, s "The moon is made of Green Cheese." Why they ever said that, who knows? It inspired me to weave this superb wall hanging.
The panel measures 34" long by 14" wide. The left side has a black background (the warp
yarns); the right side has oatmeal colored warp. The two contrasting colors, black and oatmeal, were threaded (strung) onto the loom before weaving. Threading the loom takes an exorbitant amount of time and concentration. Each individual strand of yarn has to be threaded in an exact, precise sequence to create the moon patterns.
The weaving begins after the loom is set up and all the yarns are in place (about 450), following an exact sequence to create the pattern which, remember, I manipulated to elevate a traditional weave structure into a work of contemporary art, made entirely of yarn. I wove the moon pattern into the black and oatmeal warp using a bright blue yarn alternating with a grey-green yarn, in alternating bands.
Tricky. Complicated. Labor intensive. Immense patience required.
How long did it take me? 30 years of weaving experience + a lifetime of textile work + 8 weeks of design time + 8 weeks in process on the loom + 2 weeks after weaving to finish off loom (tie up loose ends, fringe, hems, press, mounting brackets, photograph, etc.).

It is my interpretation of a complex weaving pattern for an 8 shaft floor loom, which I reinterpreted to make it my own unique design. Like a painting, but woven. By hand. On a large loom.

The left side has a black background (the warp yarns); the right side has oatmeal colored warp. The two contrasting colors, black and oatmeal, were threaded (strung) onto the loom before weaving.
Threading the loom takes an exorbitant amount of time and concentration. Each individual strand of yarn has to be threaded in an exact, precise sequence to create the moon patterns.
The weaving begins next, after all the yarns are in place and wrapped tightly onto the back of the loom. I weave following an exact sequence to create the pattern, the size, shape, colors of the moons which, remember, I changed the instructions. I elevate a traditional weave structure into a work of contemporary art, made entirely of yarn. I wove the moon pattern into the black
and oatmeal warp using a progression of colors from subdued to vibrant in hues of yellows, oranges and red.
