RE: The wallhangings of Hellen Nabukenya

Wow! Thanks for sharing, leading to her artworks. Fabrics cut like that made into rugs were projects of elementary grades here in the Philippines, I tried it, too. We asked from sewers their fabric scraps then cut and knot in a plastic mesh, cotton fabric is the most suitable for rugs.

THis is amazing. Here knotted or sewed rugs are nearly unknown, we mostly have rugs that are woven. The woven variety is also nice, but I loved how three-dimensional Nabukenya's designs were.
Do you still have such a rug you made?

No more, i plan to make that rug soon using the used blue jeans as base, cut used tshirts
