Organic Graphite Rug 1by ~hotrats51

Scraps

A present from my in-laws, this rug is woven on 100% New Zealand wool and is remarkably soft and extremely thick. The detail is amazing and I wish you could all see it in person.
I'm looking into having all of my art reproduced in this way
and selling them online.

They chose a web image in order to surprise me with the rug and I am anxious to see what a high res file will produce. This was created using a million-dollar system that scans and interprets the source photo and then weaves the wool to form the image. I'm told this particular size (which I will measure for you) took about 4 hours to produce. Not bad!

Here is their website and pictures from the factory:

What an excellent idea and also what n excellent artwork too. this is stunning.

Are you saying the rug was produced by the computor, or just the image?

An interesting way to reproduce your images.

~hotrats51 Aug 25, 2008

The computer actually operates the part that weaves the rug too. (^_^)

~dischart Aug 26, 2008

okay then. I thought that might be the case. I had a friend that was in the sign business, and she had a computor that could scan an copy any size of print or graphic and then print it out on humongous sheets of paper. The roll of paper was like 8 feet wide by 50 feet long. Amazing technology.

I know - I sometimes love technology!

~dischart Aug 27, 2008

Yeah, it's like anything else. Sometimes it's wonderful and amazing and sometimes it's a PITA (pain in the ass.)

Wow, though I'd feel a little funny walking on an eye, it's looks amazing

~hotrats51 Aug 19, 2008

haa - yeah, I don't think I'll walk on the eye now that you mention it. It would be very characteristic of my nature to always step over it! (I don't have a perfect home for it yet so it remains rolled in it's box. Once we remodel upstairs, it'll have a permanent place in our master bedroom.)
