Handcrafted tapestry representing a windmill along the I-10 Palm Springs corridor. The piece contains intricate stitching, metallic threads, yarn, metal objects and natural treasures from the desert. The metallic objects wrapped in turquoise yarn represent the metals that give shape and strength to the arms of the windmills. Metallic threads representing the electricity produced by the windmills snake their way along the lower part of the tapestry next to the turquoise glass beads that represent water pumped out of deep wells along the desert landscape - a testament to the majestic beauty and strength of these giant workers.
Measurements: 34.5" length x 26;25" width. The piece is lined with a linen blend fabric. The tapestry has jute loops that wrap around a bamboo pole covered in turquoise yarn and jute, providing an efficient and attractive support for hanging on a wall.
