"Madre Mar" (Mother Ocean) is inspired by my love affair with the ocean.  And don't we all have a love affair with the sea?  It is the origin of all life on Earth.  All life comes from the Sea.



My weaving studio was temporarily located at Playa Nosara, Costa Rica during the creation of most of this piece.  My home studio overlooks the sea as well, and so the Pacific Ocean was a daily touchstone of inspiration for this weaving.  In particular I am inspired by the way light reflects off the surface of the water, and this can be seen in the fine details of the weaving.

This piece is perfect to bring the wonderful energy of the ocean and beach into your space

This piece also evokes the ocean meeting the beach, and features shells from Playa Nosara, Costa Rica.  Many different hand dyed yarns of silk, cotton, and linen, as well as small beads placed throughout the weaving, give this piece a rich textural quality.  Secretly embedded in the weaving is a unique encoded design based on the words "Madre Mar".  Hung from preserved driftwood from Playa Dominical, Costa Rica.  

This is a handwoven textile featuring hand dyed tencel, silk, and cotton.  It was woven on a 4 shaft floor loom.  

This piece can be hung against a wall or in space. It is lovely from either side.   If hanging against a wall, it is best to hang it from two separately mounted filaments from the ceiling so the piece has a little breathing room and is not completely flat against the wall.

LITA LOVESTONE is a weaver and textile artist based in Costa Rica. She creates her intricate handwoven designs on a floor loom using hand dyed natural yarns. A weaver with 20 years of experience, she is currently pushing the boundaries of traditional weave structures with her own visionary approach and style. She completed a 4 year Master Weaving Certificate at the Hill Institute in Massachusetts and has pursued her passion for weaving even as she lived aboard a tiny sailboat for 2 years. Her current body of work explores an evolution of a traditional technique from colonial America called “code drafting”, in which a name or phrase is converted into a numeric code which then becomes the basis for the woven design. In this complex design process, Lita creates a geometric pattern which holds the intention and energy of words like a secret message embedded into the weaving. As an art form nearly as old as civilization itself, Lita views weaving as an ancient form of alchemical magic. This thread of connection to something ancient and yet tangibly present fuels her inspiration. In this modern world of cookie-cutter consumption, she feels a driving force to counteract the meaningless mass production with quality hand made textiles filled with intention and layers of meaning in every step of the process. Each piece is made entirely by hand and represents countless hours of intention, design and craftswomanship. In addition to fine handwoven wall art, she has a custom line of art to wear clothing under the name PrettyPosa Designs.
