Yosemite Dream Hand Woven Tapestry
July 27th, 2011
It’s late Spring, and you’re a little out of breath as you turn a bend in the path at Yosemite National Park and there it is … in all its magnificence, Yosemite Falls, cascading a full 2,424 feet off the granite walls! Fed by this year record heavy rains and snowmelt, it is one of the tallest waterfalls in North America and the 6th tallest in the world.
Indeed, America’s spectacular Yosemite was indeed a dream for those who moved to California from the east in search of new land abundant with furs in the Sierras, and rumor had it…..Gold! The first settlers were trappers, traders and adventurers who blazed and mapped dangerous passages through the Sierras.
The beauty of Yosemite has been captured for eternity, in a spectacular hand woven tapestry measuring 8’hx 6’w called YOSEMITE DREAM wall tapestry, designed by Heirloom European Tapestries. This hand woven tapestry not only captures the timeless beauty of Yosemite, but additionally commemorates the earliest visitors to the park. The border cartouches of this wall tapestry boasts a frontiersman and native American Indian viewing the scene whose habitat included deer and bear, which are also shown at the top and bottom cartouches. A log cabin sits alongside a tributary stream from the Merced River – harkening us back to our early American roots and in full view of one of the many spectacular waterfalls of Yosemite National Park.
