Design Like an Artist: Using Inspiration from Your Favorite Artists for Rug Designs In my Unicorn Tapestry design, I picture a princess riding a unicorn in a fantasy setting. The presumed domestication of the unicorn, for me, softens and sits more comfortably than the penned-up animal, symbolism aside. I kept the scatter pattern (millefiori) of plants and animals so that the piece maintains the elaborate busyness of the original tapestries. The amount of lush floral assemblage in the medieval tapestries, because of their flatness, read well as a folksy composition, and cross over easily into a rug composition. The lack of perspective and proportion make it easily adaptable to our textile mediumâmoving it off the loom and onto the rug-making frame. My friend Jeanne Coates, who also hosts the ongoing ârug exchangeâ in our Facebook group (Rug Hooking & Punch Needle Club) did a noble job of creating a historic tapestry look, while using fresh, modern colors with a lot of pop. ~Deana David.
