My grandfather worked for Standard Fruit and the whole family lived in Ecuador for a few years. There was a guy in town who made rugs. You can’t really tell but the various elevations are different heights of wool. I couldn’t tell you what the various blobs are, but it was the part of the country they lived in.I’m really happy someone else is appreciating the amazingness of this rug. My sisters and I have already promised to fight over it when my parents are gone.
THat is just so damn cool. I’ve never seen a custom-made rug before. I love the idea of different elevations having different pile levels!
Oh man it would be neat to make the different topographical layers at different heights. Man I wonder if I could program that into the embroidery machine, I know you can kind of do different levels of padding and applique and such… I’d have to study the technical aspects a lot more, but if I did it on the machine I could make a couple of copies. I’d have to do just 4x4″ squares of each topographical feature, but that still would be neat as hell.
Man I’m all fired up about this, now. Thanks for sharing that with me, it seems really really cool!
