How to turn old tyres into art

One of the largest regions of Portugal is the Alentejo, a lush, largely agricultural area. It's famous for it's wines, cheeses and traditional wool carpets and rugs called Arraiolos. The rugs and carpets are embroidered in needlepoint using wool, usually onto jute or linen. This process hasn't really changed since the XVII century. However, the story of the carpets is one for another time. I found água de prata® when I heard about the way they were using wool from their local town to transform used tyres into wool pouffes/stools. I really like the stools and old chair frames they restore using traditional woven patterns too. They use traditional methods, materials and designs to restore abandoned modern objects and are really worth a look. You can find out more and purchase their work, by emailing them here.
