I Was Fooled Again!

at first I thought I was looking at a Photoshopped picture,


 but I was not,

 it is a genuinely woven carpet designed by Faig Ahmed, an artist from Azerbaijan,

up to 25 people help make each carpet, he explains, 'when I decide to begin a piece, I first talk to the carpet makers and then edit and correct their work alongside my own sketch, next, my artwork is transferred onto engineering paper, after these preparations, the weaving process begins, as a rule, the process itself is not that easy, and I have to visit the workshop often and make corrections all along the way', what a fascinating concept, perhaps these really are magic carpets.
