Carpet Mural


One of the old buildings at the Toronto Carpet Factory was beyond restoration and after sitting condemned for years it was torn down making space for parking and leaving this nice wall open. Voila - this great mural of a carpet was commissioned ( haven't been able to find out the artist ) and is a nice surprise as you come up the street. The ivy now is attempting to take over the wall which makes for a ever changing view.

Toronto has the neatest outdoor art. Thank you once again for sharing.

A great effect. And it illustrates the power of ivy.

wow, it looks like such painstaking work. The artist even managed to paint around the ivy!

I really do like how the window is unconventional and matches the feel of the mural.

This is so cool! I hope the vine doesn't completely obscure it - but then, maybe that is just nature taking over. Could be rather symbolic.
