Aubusson weaves Tolkien

The Cité internationale de la tapisserie in Aubusson, France, has signed an agreement with the Tolkien Estate for creating an exclusive series of thirteen tapestries and one carpet to be woven at Aubusson over the course of four years. The creations will be based on the original illustrative works produced by J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973), who began painting and drawing as a child, and continued to do so all through his life. Discover an atypical project, an unprecedented project to enhance the graphic part of the world of the famous author of Bilbo the Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, from the Middle-Earth to Aubusson...
