I love Ikat Patterns! Actually, I realize, I love Ethnic-inspired art and prints - you can see them in my clothes, shoes, and accessories. And now I'm loving the Ikat designs on pillows and furniture I see in HGTV shows!

Ikat, or Ikkat, is a dyeing technique used to pattern textiles that employs a resist dyeing process similar to tie-dye on either the warp or weft fibres.
And why not do ikat on my blog? It took me some time to find a really nice ikat pattern on-line and I just morphed them to create my banner. I've actually found a great looking background too only to realize it's not meant to be re-used (so I deleted as not to be accused of copyright infringement). This is still a work in progress, but at least my banner is up!
