The Tapestry Room. The Belgian tapestries were hung in the 1820's but the room still has it's original Adam ceiling
Oudenaarde was a flourishing center of tapestry from the 16th to the 18th century. A beautiful collection is to be seen in the MOU museum in the wonderful 16th century town hall.
Essaouira
Morocco
Morocco has a very long tradition of weaving some of the most beautiful rugs in the world. For more than a thousand years, the women of the tribes have hand-tied wool rugs, from the sheep they herd high up in the Atlas Mountains. The tribes are still to be found in the mountains today, and the skill is passed on from mother to daughter.
Moroccan rugs have unique patterns and colours, because they are made by hand without following any fixed pattern. The weavers weave in their interpretations of important experiences and events from their lives into the mats.

"Every thread of creation is held in position
By still other strands of things living
In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline"
Very old tapestry (is it a tapestry?) in original frame hanging in our living room. Not sure on it's age, but in need of a good cleaning. I decided to have some fun and repaint the colors. I guessed on some of the colors. I doubt the orange existed...the green and the pinks were the only colors left and you really had to look at it to seem them. If anyone has an idea on it's age, please pass it along. It's about 5 feet in length. Thanks.
Rushing out to the beach after work at 5 PM, most of the color was gone, but I was able to grab this bit that was left. Looking forward to longer days coming up! I wouldn't normally center the rocks, but with the reflections it seemed to work.

abstract digital art created from a blank canvas
This was created from a previous digital creation of mine (see first comment below.)
I played with Photoshop's "distort" effects and then with Topaz. Although I hadn't intended it to have a texture that resembled fiber art, I decided that the final image looked like a tapestry.
Just having fun creating something new and different.
Arthurian Tapestry's (Pre-Raphaelite) on show at the Tullie House museum Carlisle. These were woven an Merton Abbey Mills near Wimbledon South London.
Showing man midway in the pilgrimage of life, climbing the mountain of Salvation. He is accompanied by two female figures, Faith and Innocence, with a winged child representing Divine Love.
The tapestry now hangs in the Victoria and Albert but it originally belonged to a set of fourteen tapestries made for the winter dining room of Plazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy. It was installed there somewhere around the mid 1500's.
This is the time of the year that the oakleaf hydrangea REALLY shines. Once the crabapple leaves are down the colour of these leaves REALLY develops and the remains of the blooms get more and more interesting! If you don't grow it, think about trying it. You will NOT be disappointed!!

Have a great weekend to all and a Happy Mother's Day to all the mother out there. Thanks to a very good friend Charlie (CP68-73) for the title. ;-)

These grasses form a natural tapestry as it leads out into the waters of the Tamar River estuary. Black swans are prominent in this area.
* Yet another one of these inflated view stats that have no bearing on the reality of daily views. It is a problem Flickr refuses to fix! If you think you are having higher than normal view numbers, you aren't. It is this fake view bug.
