Oddbean new post about login | logout Another one of my designs converted to an actual rug 🔥. I really love this one. Can you see my passion and enthusiasm behind it? Tell me 😍 https://image.nostr.build/5e5f556238cf259a16c4c020cbbaeb8f69a20daa420e15340406722f251b87cc.jpg #Pegahrug
I remember reading once that these designs always have a single deliberate flaw, was that true or was I reading a load of rubbish?
In the past, nomadic carpets were woven by weavers who creatively depicted their surroundings in their designs. This is similar to primitive art found in cave paintings or on pottery, where they aimed to represent their environment in a minimalistic way. These are not flaws but rather genuine expressions of the weavers' perceptions of their world. The choice of colors was also influenced by their emotions; darker colors might be used when they were sad or grieving, while bright and vibrant colors reflected happiness. Due to their constant migrations, nomads had to complete their carpets during the periods when they were settled. Nomadic carpets have always inspired me because I see an honesty in them that reflects the true feelings and experiences of the weavers.
Amazing work!!!
What’s the process? Do you have designs that people pay for and then they take to a rug maker?
I show my designs to customers who want a handmade carpet based on them. After consulting and negotiating about the dimensions and other details, I inform them of the final price of the woven carpet. This process requires a down payment to ensure that the customer genuinely wants the design and the rug.
Just curious how much would a rug like this cost? Design plus weaving?
It depends on size and materials. The dimension of this design is 170×240 cm and very popular for customers. Price : 0.3 BTC
That’s incredible. Beautiful work
This looks like a prayer mat. We Muslims use them to pray on them. You can pray wherever you like. However, we usually use mats like these. Is this just art or is it supposed to have any link to the Muslim prayers?
The prayer rug has a distinct design compared to other rugs. At its top, there are two arches that depict the mihrab shape. Unlike other rugs, it does not have fringe in its four corners.
Because of the horse, I think we Muslims cannot pray on it. Thus, my question, was it intended for people to pray on it?
How do you feel about my work when you look at it carefully? https://image.nostr.build/7e836436a3c497904c3418d6501073470b9a20af36b806a25f895b489a91d956.jpg #Pegahrug nostr:nevent1qqsqteugyhu05ewdsxqxpm2hsmg440z7mqn3qmhcx3z0nsysw3slr9spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygq674y4tymtaqz0j5qsv3l2ttd9ca38ah0swd98lqfmhg8rrmkevqpsgqqqqqqsul07pj
Beautiful! Love the colors. The darker field around the center medallion really makes the rider stand out. 💙
