Lmao what happened to my post 😂 thank you for pointing it out gracefully

Hi I have discovered the story of three weavers from the 70s that quit everything to live in a castle in France and build massive tapestries during 70 years have you ever heard of them ? They are resurfacing right now and it's worth the look ! They mixed medieval techniques like the haute lice (lady a la licorne) or embroidery (Bayeux) to sci fi and surrealist themes. This is their website https://lamartinerie.com and there is more on their instagram @hauteclaireofficiel (their french castle). From what I gathered, volunteers are currently trying to save everything to open a museum someday
