Berber carpet weaving from Morocco is wonderful

I just got back from a short holiday in Marrakech and I was prepared for some beautiful patterned tiles but I wasn’t expecting all the amazing weaving! I wanted to buy them all.

They have so many techniques.

It gets very cold so warm blankets are essential.

The one I bought (not pictured) is made from sheep wool. I met the artist but she didn’t speak English and I really wanted to communicate to her that I really loved her work and respected her as an amateur fellow weaver! should have brought pics of me working at my loom…

I went to the Lambeth Country Show 2014 and saw this great rag weaving on an old clothes horse.

Karina was also running some smaller rag weaving workshops.

There is a beautiful and inspiring garden/allotments at the abandoned airport in Berlin. We got out just before it chucked it down.
