Crucifixion

 I meant to post this earlier during this Holy Week, but time got away from me. Back last October when visiting Nova Scotia I had the opportunity to spend time visiting Les Trois Pignons rug hooking museum in Cheticamp. There were magnificent rugs and tapestries on display, including this one by the late Elizabeth LeFort, made in 1964. This piece measures 3 meters by 1.7 meters and took eleven months to complete, it boasts 510 different colors of 2 ply wool. This masterpiece is simply entitled: Crucifixion; and is housed in a separate, chapel-like room.
Amazing in its workmanship and breathtaking in its detail...
Life is Good!
