The woven art…
By Garland L McLaughlin
Down in the
southwest born
town of the USA
there is El Paso
Texas. Here
people of all
types of Hispanic
decent sell the
area rugs and
Persian area
rugs. In travels to
that area one
may come across
an area rug with
a unique or
particular design
which makes it
stand out among
the rest. The
Medallion Rug
Gallery is a
known for
displaying
exhibitions of
rugs from all over
the world, right in
the El Paso
Texas area.
The rug isn’t the
only piece of the
puzzle that makes
the whole city stand
out with its clever
ways to make
people feel right at
home. With
different areas to
visit El Paso can
give visitors an
experience that
must be unique.
The food and
architecture play
important roles and
traditional stories
which are often
found on rugs that
are handmade in
this region. It would
not be uncommon
to find a rug that
had an adobe
house design
woven into it. Or,
more commonly
one may find a look
alike picture of an
important individual
sew into the center
of unique rug.
