Great photo-essay. It looks like it was a beautiful trip. Is there more to the tapestry? Looks like great design work. I would love to do something similar.

Hi @hypnopreneur - thank you for the compliment to my post. The tapestry is a personal render of visions during Ayahuasca ceremonies. It tells a story and you see the strings of the stories how they are all connected and intertwined. It contains symbols, pictures and great secrets.

The base of the tapestry is natural white cotton textile which is then dyed with plant extracts and painted with a special kind of clay mixed with water. I'll make a post here with pix if you are interested and explain more to it 🦋


Now it is in my bedroom:
