The drone rug craze has maintained its drive. Public Radio International featured a story on the rugs, their background and growing popularity. There is a written story on PRI site, as well as the option hear the full radio interview. You can find a link to both below. Thank you to PRI for the interest!

Call me a traditionalist, but it just fascinates me why anyone would spend so much time creating a hand knotted rug with a drone as a centre motif when there are so many other concepts that the weaver could have used. Saying that I do like the use of the colours.
