From this new vendor whose Mashad I am interested in (until normal knowledgable people mitigate and bet they will):

Is this not exceptional and with subtle warmth and verve? Too bad it is made by robot machine & of the stuff with the half life of nuclear waste. Tragic. I doesn't look phoned in in the images.....but it is.

It also has like 4 colors in total. But this....is a really good level of ersatz.

10-4, I got it right off, I truly did. But Krow, could you honor me by weighing in on the Mashad herein, thread titled "Not Disgusting"?? I kidded around re what yr response would be.....but truly, even though no way is this a Sarouk...probably half the KPSI....it isn't as unremarkable as that Lilihan you werr right about, I feel, And it ight be worth the not huge money. What do you think?????

Today I went to see this once fabulous rug which turned out to be practically in the grave.. I still feel bad for the poor guy. I am not that good at this.

Pro, this will interest you! there are up to 1,500 interpretable aspects in a natal chart run with an accurate time. The Sun means almost nothing, believeit or not! Plus, I can take a 3 second look at a cilent's chart in the ephemeris, literally that for phone clients.....not use my expensive software to run all the math.....and pick up most of the accurate details.....but I never even look at the Sun placement.

Having said that......I have Virgo rising. It is one reason we connect. We are as you said, and also about service and also detail oriented! Also, with a dearth of arrogance.

Boy, was I lucky to have found this place.

But I still feel bad for Mitch. Great sadness about him anyhow Tho some of it, at least today, and I know is today... owed to his illusions about that poor rug. I must remember that. Cept that is part of why I feel bad for him!!!!!

As for the target store rug....common, guys I SAID ALL OF IT!!! What I liked so much and still like....is, someone with a MAC and good software....rendered what I stand by feeling... is a VERY attractive design. I admire that. I said it was plastic, I said it was machined.....cut me slack, guys.....maybe I have a point! I think someone with "an eye" rendered this. Now ponder: Krow said it was out there in the gazillions!!! It SUCCEEDED. Cause he or she WHO RENDERED it on the MAC.....had an EYE. I am applauding that human.....who will never see a loom and remain BER - WEFT as a result. lol

And nobody call goal tending re my little defense above.....cause the ball was not in the downward trajectory to THE BASKET, OK? LOL

Wow. I never heard anyone say or write the world"trundled"!!! High marks. I envy that your trundling over time with keen eye has not eroded yr soul. It has already eroded mine and I am a beginer. Tho mine was eroded retroactively re my rug sale debacle.

And yes, you are right: I know from yesterday......anything once magnificent, however long ago and however distance from any semlance of that magnificence.....people think is priceless.

Nobody believes me today, but I would not have that clinically depressed and terminal rug on my floor if someone gave it to me. I am not kidding.

Bring to mind how popular Karl Lagerfeld is. My feeling from jump was, each new collection of his....makes Chanel turn over in her grave. Very scary what can be achieved with advertising, hype....the manufacturing of elan. I see it in everything.

Now I get same phenomenon exists in the rug business. I mean Right in this room.....this thing I found, Pro says is hand knotted.....it is unimaginable that anyone could have made this, and far more, anyone would have paid money for it.

I also see remnants sold online......as if this profession were like archeology digs wherein devoted professionasl spend forever to sift thu miles of sand to find tiny fragments of what might have been ancient artifacts every tiny part of which is precious. That is get.

I should have paid more attention when I was growing up to what was in our house as a carefully evolving work progress. But I didn't. I had no clue how special the rugs were. I assumed all old rugs were like those rugs. Better late than never.

O Lord, save our Krow: Humans with the souls of poets of your distillation are IN HARMS WAY, ok?

Compelling. tangential subject: magnificence in perpetuity, does that exist? Maybe yes, with, say excpetoinal Wooten desk, fine American Windsor chairs, Quezal or Tiffany items with little damage.....but Krow, rugs are at their heart, meant to be walked on. I mean these rugs... these are not prayer rugs with huge spiirtual provenance.

I refuse to apologize for my pragmatic, bourgeois center, and I was raised with almost NOTHING NEW. Not once did I ever worry about walking on my Sarouk---or over drop cloth I put down while building all I did on it....huge stress, tons of sawdust.....nor did anyone one else worry!!!

Only once, when I was growing up, and my livingroom community fish tank started to leak--I had those all over the house....that was during my fish phase which was before my horse phase which was before my guy phase.....did my mother go nuclear. But THAT huge, vivid, full pile (I only now realize, too late) Sarouk.....entire battalions could have marched over and it would not have blinked.

I assumed all semi antique rugs were lke that.

But you raise a very dense issue to be sure, and I hope others weigh in on it.

Mea culpa. Now I get it. You are right. also....deep. Also nuanced.
