wall hanging decor

Pale albesia wood beads are like ornaments on this Christmas tree wall hanging from Nik in Bali. The tree is crafted by hand from cotton using macrame techniques, with an albesia wood ring at the top and a rod at the bottom.

Sunlight drenches this batik on cotton work by K. Baka. Set in Aburi, an "aklowa" (village) about 30 miles north of Accra, the painting is a personal expression of what the artist considers to be one of his sanctuaries. The pair of cottage huts and coconut trees represent twins with whom he became enamored upon first visiting the village. Towering flora backdrop the serenity of Baka's refuge.

Aburi is a hilly town, renowned for its spectacular view, as the higher elevation affords glimpses of Accra rivaling those seen from a helicopter. Here also is the home of one of the world's most significant botanical gardens - a haven for exotic, tropical and medicinal plants. Inspired by the contrast between urbanity and the peace of the countryside, Baka elaborates this work using dyes extracted naturally from vegetables.

Let nature's serene essence grow in your interiors with a sublime creation by Nengah Marga. Working on a bamboo structure, the Balinese artisan uses crochet techniques to create the three-shaped cotton composition that decorates the design, finishing with gorgeous fringes. As a charming touch, the accessory also combines ivory and natural brown hues.

Warm and vibrant hues merge in a joyful design dedicated to making those little feathered friends that wander your garden feel at home. Mexican artisan Ernesto Yañez works with tin to create this birdhouse and feeder featuring hand-painted leafy and floral details for a spring vibe. The accessory also has a charming orange bird motif at the top, with a handy hook for hanging the item anywhere.
