Default A carpet of flowers - literally

news:0r2dnR4- Sory Mike, I think it is a labour of love, for just a second
think of
the work on creating the pattern, probably from an ancient Eastern one
by the looks of it. It faithfully reproduces the colours, no mean
feat and texture of the real thing. I have a couple of antique rugs/
carpets, and I can see just how much work went into the detail on this
design. I love it and I think it is a masterpiece, not just of the
designers but those who grew and raised the plants.



Agreed.

Just a pity we do not get see a view of the whole arrangement.

Yesterday I saw a large white van covered with plastic flowers, it had a
certain charm - for me :-)

Well, it would be more interesting than plain white van? Beauty is in
the eye of the beholder Kate.
