Contemporary tapestry

One day I was walking around in an old part of town when I saw a strange shop; inside stood a number of benches linked to tables, just like in schools. But the people sitting there were not writing, they were weaving colourful reels of cotton, wool and yarn together, making lovely, colourful pictures out of them, one was prettier than the other. That’s when I discovered weaving machines and woven tapestries. For years the machines kept coming back to my mind, and I even dreamt with those pictures, till one day – like a divine idea that could have come a little sooner – it dawned on me:

                                                                   Do It Yourself!

                  Here I introduce you some of the fruits of that “divine idea”.
