Brussels' Carpet of Flowers
By DIY Maven
This 300 square meter carpet is made almost entirely of flowers. Assembled in the Grand-Place, Brussels, the practice of creating such works of art began back in 1971 as a means to promote begonias, the rugs' primary medium. The pattern of last year's installment was based on a medieval carpet design.
The begonias--300 per 1 square meter--are placed atop the square's cobblestones. Grass and tree bark provided additional color. The flower installation occurs every 2 years. Follow this link for images of past creations.
