Tapestry - Blog Posts

The tapestries made by the Aubusson manufacture based on the art of JRR Tolkien are currently exhibited at the Collège des Bernardins in Paris until May. @actual-bill-potts and I went there yesterday, they're so beautiful!!

These are all handmade tapestries, each is based on a Tolkien artwork (the Rivendell one has the facsimile on the right for scale).

Under the cut: group ID and bonus details

ID: 7 photos of the tapestries, which are each about 3m high, located in a 13th century monastery. The first is the map of middle earth, the others are illustrations Tolkien made of his books. The bonus photos below are details of the tapestries.

Not my best work but figured I'd share the works of my favorite Nightwing characters.

Orange County Bedroom

Inspiration for a mid-sized timeless master carpeted bedroom remodel with beige walls

golden threads like spools of glazed time, rippling over skin reflected upon or emboldened in time? slivers of voices trapped in the warm rays touching and painting your hair, wisps of unwound paths waiting to be caught. so many red strings, fluttering like our erratic beating, yet I'm left weaving tapestries from bare scraps of discarded lint. furious stitching, from the timed ripples dying, words of a melody barely coaxed by red and blemished fingers. the same golden threads, now remain unspooled, what a mess, caged like a broken Wallace. soft goodbyes left unsaid, braids woven for ultimate indifference. what knot did we miss for the tapestry to burn and not shine? the yellow so dull like jaundiced eyes but the red so stark like first drawn blood.

National Parks Vol. 1

Seattle-based photographer Navid Baraty went on a solo 7,200-mile road trip to various national parks around the western United States. Navid captured the journey along the way from steaming geyser basins to rugged badlands, from otherworldly deserts to petrified forests, from thunderous canyons to slot canyons, from sheer cliffs to top-secret military installations.

Brighten up my room
