This is my first time buying on this site. When you change money to Canadian, add tax, and postage, it is expensive and I was a bit apprehensive because pictures dont show everything. I waited a while because they were out of stock but this was no problem. When it came, it was nicely packaged. The design I chose was bright and cheery and what I liked best was the workmanship and the weight of the wool. it wasnt skimpy. Also, theres a nice pocket in which to place my rod when I get it. I thought Id have to manage that myself.So, all in all, I am a happy customer and its worth the $ to me!.

Love this colorful, vibrant tapestry, which gives warmth to a stark white door and gray-painted apartment. Adds much cheer to my space, and has held up well over the years!

I love depictions of animals. especially when they are animals you dont commonly see depicted as with llamas and rheas, two distinctly South American animals (my other tapestry from him is all condors). And while purple is my favorite color, I do like orange as well, and I saw there was a bit of purple in this.This tapestry currently occupies pride of place, on the door to my office. Which means that at close range, Ive realized the faces of the cats are kind of creepy. But Im not really sure how you could do better on a loom, and I have also seen much worse cat faces! As I look at them more, I think I definitely prefer : | to a badly done : 3 (the most popular simplified cat face), and it makes a lot more sense on a loom as well!
