About a year ago, we took a trip down to Silsang Temple, where we ran into some ladies trimming greens near the kitchen. I started chatting with them and before I knew it, Sonja and I were helping them trim the greens for the monks’ dinner. One lady who worked there invited us to come back

Annie Bendolph produced her quilt in 1930; thus, it is one of the oldest quilts in the Gee’s Bend collection. She is shown in a 1937 photo by Arthur Rothstein of the Farm Security Administration, which hired photographers to document rural life in America. The rug based on the quilt is very dimensional: the red areas are made of low loops, with raised, cut-pile white arrows. Hand-tufted rugs can be steam cleaned at home, making them ideal for children’s rooms or any area where your family sits on the rug. Barbara Barran has been working with the Gee’s Bend Quilters since 2003. She has shown and sold their work at over 25 US museums, paying the quilters a royalty for the use of their designs. She has visited Gee’s Bend, AL, several times and stayed at the home of Ruth Kennedy and Lucy Mingo. Working with the quilters has been the highlight of her design career. Custom Gee’s Bend Quilt designs and sizes are available. For more information, please write to info [!at] Classicrug.com or call us at 718-768-3338. I color matched each rug to the original quilt when the quilts were shown at the Whitney Museum. and I have made several trips to Gee's Bend during my years working with the quilters. These rugs have been shown and sold at over 20 US museums. To make this rug, a pattern is drawn in a reverse image on monk's cloth, and then each stitch is added by hand. When the complete pattern has been filled in, natural latex and jute are applied to the back, and the edges are turned under and secured with cotton canvas, so the rug is constructed of all-natural materials. There are no added chemicals. The rug is then sheared and by hand, and the edges are trimmed with a big pair of scissors. This is a top-quality rug that will give you years of use. The New Zealand wool will not pill or break off, and it does not have an odor, as many cheap wool rugs do. This rug should be vacuumed with a non-beater brush vacuum. Do not use a bagless cyclonic. Clean any spots with foam Resolve cleaner for wet spots and powdered Resolve for dry spots. The rug can be steam cleaned at home periodically, as needed. Please note, these are area rugs and not quilts. Because we do not know what happens to our merchandise once it arrives in the purchaser's home, we do not accept returns. Orders will be shipped promptly, usually within 1-3 days.

Je einfacher, desto schöner! Das trifft zu 100% auf diese schnell gemachten Weihnachtssterne aus Papier zu. Ohne langes und kompliziertes Falten benötigst du für diese Sterne nur wenige Minuten. Und das ohne Knoten in den Fingern – versprochen. Wichtig dabei ist nur, dass du das richtige Papier auswählst. Ist es zu dünn, bleibt der Stern nicht in Form, ist es zu dick, erhält man beim Biegen unschöne Knicke. Am besten eignet sich Papier mit einem Gewicht von 300g/qm. Einfacher Weihnachtsstern aus Papier Du brauchst: Papier in deiner Wunschfarbe, 300g/qm Schneideunterlage Lineal Bleistift Cuttermesser Papierleim oder doppelseitiges Klebeband So geht`s: Ich habe Papier in A4 Größe gekauft und es in 6cm breite Streifen geschnitten. Die Breite und Größe kannst du ganz nach deinem Geschmack variieren. Alle Streifen habe ich an den Enden mit Papierleim zusammengklebt, sodass diese Tropfenform entsteht. Für einen Stern benötigst du insgesamt 8 dieser “Tropfen”-Elemente. Nun wie auf den Bildern oben anordnen und mit Kleber oder doppelseitigem Klebeband zusammenkleben. Geht ganz easy, oder? Die großen Sterne sehen besonders schön an der Wand aus, viele kleine an einer Kordel aufgereiht machen sich auch hübsch als weihnachtlicher Fensterschmuck. Ich wünsche dir einen schönen 4. Advent und einen gemütlichen Sonntag! Herzliche […]

The Copenhagen Collection was taken the in winter of 2021 when my friend and I took a trip to Denmark from Italy where we were both studying. We originally debated on going to different places such as Prague, Brussels, etc. but we landed on Copenhagen and thank god we did. This city is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen. We did so many things including eating the amazing pastries and sausages, going to Christmas markets, seeing the amazing architecture, and visiting Tivoli Gardens the worlds second oldest amusement park. The collection shows just how amazing of a Copenhagen truly is. Whether it's breathtaking landscapes, or eye-capturing portraits, these rolled prints can feature it all as they come in multiple sizes. - Image Sizes: 6" x 8", 12" x 16", 18" x 24", 24" x 32", 28" x 40" - Materials: 200 gsm paper (matte) - Matte paper is a lighter-weight paper than fine art paper, and is optimized for artwork and can be suitable for photography in scenarios where a less glossy appearance is preferred - Care Instructions: If the print does gather any dust, you may wipe it off gently with a clean, dry cloth. - The prints do not come with a mat or a frame
