For thousands of years people have depicted the firmament on the ceiling of their dwellings. Would it not be fitting, now that we know what the earth looks like, to have it under our feet? At first I wanted to make a rug that would look like the ground. I had fun making it round because so few rugs have that shape. And than I thought, what if I made the earth?
The six colors represent the seas, the rivers, the clouds….The Idea for the moon rug was derived from that.
