Personalized Gifts – The Photo Tapestry

January 26, 2009

Did you know you can get a great photograph woven into a tapestry wall hanging? You can. Sometimes, there are special events and great, great shots of family or friends at the reunion on the beach or wherever the action began… and you can have that picture made into a very small or very large tapestry wall hanging for the den or family room. It’s a pretty cool personalized photo gift as in a photo tapestry.

Deer & Shields Medieval Tapestry Wall Hanging

January 20, 2009

This is a beautiful tapestry wall hanging that shows the Medieval Times when the knights carried the protective shields with their very own coat of arms signature. The deer in this Medieval Tapestry, Deer & Shields keep a watchful eye out while our Knights of the Round Table slumber through the night.

This motif is taken from The Quest of The Holy Grail and is one of many, many tapestry wall hangings woven to depict the events of those fun and fanciful Medieval days.

Middle Ages Wove The News In The Medieval Tapestries

January 5, 2009

The period from approximately 1500 to 1750 is considered the golden age of European tapestry production. During the Middle Ages, it was typical for weavers to use artistic license and interpret freely when creating tapestries from working sketches. By 16th century, however, tapestry production was a highly regulated, rigidly controlled industry. The working designs, or “cartoons”, were paintings, often by masters, and were strictly copied by the weavers. Ten tapestries created from cartoons by Rafael, known as the Acts of the Apostles, hang in the Sistine Chapel to this day. Medieval Tapestries were practically like a newspaper.. telling all the tales and events of importance in the weaving of the fabrics. The exquisite detail and color of these hangings equaled any paintings of the time.
