I am very happy and proud to tell everyone that on Sunday 18 May 2008 I was given artisan
status at IGMA (International Guild of Miniature Artisans)

 The fine
floral motifs found in workshop carpets became fashionable at the end of the 19th century. For some
of my carpets I found inspiration in existing carpets and styles; yet others are fantasy... I hope you will like them as much
as I do!
More detailed information: I
work on a small Turkish silk loom. To
knot carpets I prepare the loom, putting warp on it. The material used and the way it is put on the loom defines the number of knots possible and the density
of the carpet, which is important for making miniature carpets. When the warp is ready I can start to weave wefts and make a line of pattern by tieing the
knots in the different colors to form a design: working upwards in lines of weft, knots-weft, knots and so on. Here you see my loom. I am starting a new
line of knots on one of my silk miniature carpets...
