felt rugs

Felt materials has became such popular material. We use felt to make softies, bag and pouch and everyday things. Beside it's the oldest material in the world and it's also easy to handled. I just discovered felt on rugs. Peace Industry, a company by Melina Raissnia designs some beautiful felt rugs. If you're interested to learn more about the process watch their 15-minute film. You can also read an essay on the subject by Melina Raissnia for Turkotek.com.
