Kind Words

an heirloom to pass on...

"...I knew I wanted a woven piece above the stairwell in our VT home. I saw some of Rebecca's other works where she had a river woven in so it was natural to ask if she would do the Mad River. I sent several photos of the river for inspiration and she nailed it!  I also loved being able to participate in selecting the yarns both for color and texture. I was overwhelmed emotionally by her piece because she did such a great job incorporating the feel of the Mad River. The piece is hung prominently in our home for everyone to enjoy and our friends and guests always comment on the piece. It will be an heirloom to pass on."

A collaborative and interactive process...

"Once I hung the piece above the fireplace, I knew it was exactly what I had imagined.  The room felt peaceful, warmer and cozy just as I had hoped. I was really pleased with how collaborative and interactive Rebecca was as she created my piece.  She shared the colors and types of textiles she was planning to use and we tweaked it just a bit to make sure the accent colors fit my vision.  She sent updated pictures as she progressed to share the work in progress and ask for feedback.  This process ensured she met my expectations and I knew exactly what the finished work would look like when it arrived.  It was a truly great process and I am beyond pleased with the final product."

AN ABSOLUTE JOY

"I am so thrilled with this amazing piece made by Rebecca Whitaker.  It fills the space over my bed beautifully and brings me such happiness every day.  Rebecca was an absolute joy to work with and kept me in the loop (no pun intended) throughout the entire process.  This has been one of the best art experiences and purchases I have ever made. Thank you Rebecca."

The Depth and detail is truly mesmerizing

"When I first came across Rebecca's art I immediately fell in love with her work. In particular, "The Return" was so beautiful and meaningful that I knew I would want to stare at it for years in my home. Not even thinking it was a possibility to shrink down such a detailed piece to less than 1/3 of the original size, I figured I would message her just in case. She responded promptly and told me of course that could be done! I was surprised and thrilled! Throughout the process she checked in with pictrues to make sure we were please with how the project was coming along. She also offered to customize any part of it. The depth and detail of Rebecca's art is truly mesmerizing, from the unique material used, the feeling behind each piece, to the quality of the hanging equipment included. It is truly one of a kind and I'm grateful to have it in my home!"

  • It is hard to find pristine quality and workmanship like this

    "This stunning one-of-a-kind handwoven wall art fiber sculpture arrived carefully packaged! It is by far the most unique piece of art I’ve ever had in our home and feel privileged to be able to share it with family and friends! Rebecca worked with me to create this masterpiece to go with a guest bedroom’s color & decor. She came through with the perfect design and used lovely muted soft colors along with her amazing textured yarns and fibers! It is hard to find pristine quality and workmanship like this! And the turn around time was quick. Rebecca is also a joy to work with and wanted to make sure I was happy with her work throughout the process! Can’t thank you enough!"

ARTISTIC VISION AND COLLABORATION

"Commissioning a piece is always a risky endeavor. Will the artist understand my vision? Have I made my own thoughts clear? Working with Rebecca takes that risk away. She communicated expectations clearly and regularly updated me on her progress so that she could change course or colors if needed. She balanced her artistic vision with my particular needs so it is a collaborative effort. As for the art itself, it is simply stunning. Photos of her pieces can capture some of the texture and dimensionality, but both are so much more in real life. The piece is restrained in its overall use of colors, but riotous in its expression of various textures. It was the coziness needed in our living room and has become its focal point. I can't thank you enough, Rebecca."

A pure joy, a true artist

"I was looking for the perfect piece of artwork, something with texture and something unique to complete our mountain home in Cashiers, NC. While browsing through Etsy I came across Rebecca’s beautiful wall hangings and knew instantly that was the final touch our home needed! I loved her use of natural fibers and earth tones. I specifically requested to have large clusters of wool added to pay homage to the mountain, Big Sheepcliff,  where our home is located. She incorporated beautifully.  It was pure joy working with Rebecca! From our  first correspondence it was obvious she was a true artist, kind and wanted to capture my vision and she did!"
