The Flemish tapestry making that started to come about in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries reminds me of tapestries that my friend has in her house. Like many of the tapestries that were made in history my friend has a lot of ones with flower patterns. They hang on her walls just as the tapestries did 0n the walls of the fifteenth and sixteenth century people. Every time I go to her house I am very interested in the details of these tapestries. Each one is so intricate and looks like so much work. I also admire the people who are able to make them and come up with the interesting designs that keep me looking at it. In her house the tapestries are used purely for decoration unlike in history when they were used for both insulation and decoration.
