Here is a gorgeous handmade Ghashghai rug with stunning design and high-quality wool.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Ghashghai nomads live mostly in the surroundings of Shiraz, Iran (Persia).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They move twice a year, between the winter pasture near the Persian Gulf and the summer pasture up in the Zagros Mountains where it is much cooler.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The weaving of rugs as well as kilims, bags, ribbons and other decorations is an important contribution to the life of the nomads.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The rugs have a typical red-brown ground color. The pattern is tied from memory and often consists of a centrally placed medallion, repeated in all four corners.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Humans, four legged animals, birds, trees and flowers are popular elements. Other patterns are collected from frescos and columns in Persepolis (Tacht-e-Jamshid in Persia) the ceremonial capital during the Achmenids dynasty (550-330 B.C.).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ghashghai nomads are also well known for their beautiful saddle bags that are knotted for more practical applications.

A kilim (Azerbaijani: Kilim کیلیم, Turkish: Kilim, Turkmen: Kilim, Persian: گلیم gelīm) is a flat tapestry-woven carpet or rug traditionally produced in countries of the former Persian Empire, including Iran, Azerbaijan, the Balkans and the Turkic countries of Central Asia.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kilims can be purely decorative or can function as prayer rugs. Modern kilims are popular floor coverings in Western households.

Have you ever thought why some handmade kilim rugs were in use as wall-hanging décors, not for floor-covering purposes?
The geometric design in this gorgeous Shahsavan kilim rug speaks about simple life-style and rich culture of the nomadic Shahsevans tribe.
Unlike for oriental rugs, the weaver does not use any pre-made design (as a roadmap) but rather put their own thoughts into these rugs.
Because of this, a tribal kilim rug provides many clues on weaver’s feelings, traditions, culture, life style and artistic creativity.

Caroline Lee Radziwiłł, known as Princess Lee Radziwill, was an American socialite, public-relations executive, and interior decorator.
She was the younger sister of First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy and sister-in-law of President John F. Kennedy.
She worked as an interior decorator in a style influenced by her association with Italian stage designer Lorenzo Mongiardino.
What it amazed me about her is in deep understanding of the principles of the interior design, inspired by Italian-styles in that period.

The creation, design and weaving a rug (or any other artworks) might seem challenging at the beginning. But, when you are passionate about, it’s worth the struggles.
During weaving this rug, which was happened in my vacation time for Christmas and New Year, I did not even realize how quickly the time passed.
The joy of design and weaving a handmade rug is amazing, pretty much similar to any other artworks.

What inspires you? Have you inspired someone in your life?
Researchers have suggested that inspiration plays an important role in creativity “by firing the soul”.
My inspirations stem from appreciation of others artworks, my thoughts, beauty of nature, birds, people, and my life-experiences.
Passion, intuition and connection with people have a power to stimulate and boost your artistic creativity.
