Good Luck Fabric Wall Hanging

Eye-like symbols & red circles set against embossed black faux suede & velvety cream background. Design bordered by faux leather brown cords. Belief in the evil eye dates back at least 5,000 yrs. The belief is that receiving the evil eye could bring one bad luck & misfortune. For this reason, eye-like symbols are used to ward off the evil eye, the bad energy, so to speak. in Greece eye symbols are given to newborns for good luck & protection & adults often wear bracelets & necklaces with eye-like symbols or hang these decorations in their homes for good luck. Keeping in mind the history of the evil eye I often include this eye-like symbol in my cutout designs. As children we would cut out & paste various paper shapes to create pictures. The great artist, Matisse, in his later years, created his exquisite paper cutout masterpieces. I use a similar method to make my wall hangings. Pieces of fabric are first carefully cut out, then joined to other pieces & finally machine sewn to create my designs. Each wall hanging has between 10-25 cutouts & often includes symbols of good luck & harmony, for example, circles, coins, eye-llike symbols etc. I use only high quality fabrics & all wall hangings are fully lined with a sleeve in back to support a rod for hanging. A gift for all occasions: housewarming, birthday, newborn, holiday. Good Luck Fabric Wall Hanging
