Dreaming In Stitches 
Wow! i wonder what William Morris would have made of those colours – nothing like those soft blues and grey greens he used in his tapestries!
True – it’s similar to castles and cathedrals where you need to imagine the original vivid colours that they once had, instead of the current plain stone. I’ve seen a couple of interpretations before of how tapestries would have looked, but I think this is the best I’ve seen.
Amazing! You forget just how brilliant these tapestries would have looked – very far from dreary, as they appear today.
Absolutely – our ancestors didn’t share modern tastes in interior decor, but it’s so sad to see them faded and largely ignored.
