Woven tapestries online

Yesterday I shared how I felt about the historical tapestries when I first started offering them at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. Today I'm sharing a few examples of what I have 🪡

There's lots more of A Cup of Cloudy.

And there will be others in Booth 203.

Always consider all tapestries as limited time only!!! No guarantees it will be available forever. No holds.

Thanks for looking :)

Buying woven tapestries online has become a great way to bring unique art and history into your home decor without waiting for seasonal festivals. From my experience, many tapestries sold online, including those at arts festivals like the Michigan Renaissance Festival, offer limited editions that carry the charm of historical narratives and fine textile craftsmanship. For instance, tapestries such as "A Mon Seul Désir" and "Unicorn in Captivity" echo medieval themes perfect for those who appreciate art history and gothic styles. Meanwhile, the "Four Seasons" series by Alphonse Mucha presents a visually stunning Art Nouveau take, ideal for fans of classic European artistry. These pieces not only enrich your living space but also serve as conversation starters due to their intricate designs and historical significance. When shopping online, it's important to note that most tapestries are offered as limited-time products, so availability can change quickly. This adds an element of exclusivity, and collectors often find special joy in owning something rare. From baroque-inspired works like the "Primavera Tapestry" to unique interpretations like the "Neuschwanstein Castle" jacquard tapestry, the range caters to diverse tastes. Additionally, the convenience of online shopping allows you to explore a wide variety of sizes and price points—from $109 for smaller pieces like the "Galleon Ship Tapestry" to larger statement works priced around $249. The tactile quality and detailed weaving techniques of jacquard tapestries make them durable and visually captivating. I highly recommend checking reputable online art and textile stores or festival vendors who also sell online, to ensure authentic craftsmanship. Make sure to inquire about care instructions, as proper maintenance will preserve the colors and fabric texture over time. Overall, purchasing woven tapestries online is a rewarding experience that fuses history, art, and personal style uniquely and accessibly.

what I ACTUALLY do as an artist

the only task that directly brings income is selling the art. aaalllll the other tasks are necessary but when you're not trading time for money you don't get paid based on time spent. I think that's where the confusion with artists comes in. Some days I work 12 hours and make $0.

Tapestries are portable art

You can simply roll them up, carry them on the back of a horse, and hang them wherever you go. They can even get rained on and not be ruined. Tapestries are so portable! This was useful for kings in times of battle, for transporting tapestries as gifts, or moving them around the castle.
