I actually interviewed Faig Ahmed in 2013 when he was nominated for Jameel Art Prize. He design the rugs and collaborate with weavers to make them for him. I think he and his wife own a small workshop or a factory in his country to produce his work. The main idea was to express his feelings about how his culture was melted and changed due to different historical changes, thus the rug being a traditional product became a representation of his country’s identity and the changes in the design are the new hybrid culture. Or at least this is what I understood form our conversation that day.

So cooool!:)

[@m.aburas5833]

You are cool 😎

[@matteoguillot8439]

Crazy fact 😮

[@amberfrazier575]

Wow! That is amazing!

[@HappilyDressed]

This comment is for MAMA! Thank you for birthing such an amazingly talented son!👏🏾🙌🏾

[@Shmoxd]

Can’t wait for her to tell me about this comment 🤍🤍

[@tylerwalters4522]

Yo he really just destroyed his window screen for us. That’s commitment

[@potatopotatoeOG]

And with summer on its way.. those Mosquitos 💀

[@Shmoxd]

Gotta get me some bug spray now 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@cartoonhanks1708]

@@Shmoxd window screen is pretty cheap btw, you can always replace it or buy a lot of it.

[@samiday6486]

Holy shit. I thought it was cool already but when you showed it half leaning on the wall... There are no words!!

[@Shmoxd]

Riiiight!? I was pleasantly surprised

[@benfin8453]

You know it's gonna be a good day when shmoxd posts.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🤍

[@cardboredbox443]

Thank you Mama for teaching this man to sew, he taught me how to sew :)

[@Shmoxd]

This is so cute 🤍🤍

[@circlesquaretriangle]

Its a viciously beautiful cycle that should never end imho :3

[@AnneliseAnderson]

I love the little “yay good job” to yourself because we all need to be a little kinder to ourselves, especially as artists. Another great video!! 😊😊

[@lissq2769]

🙌 ❤️

[@Shmoxd]

I’m all in for some self compassion 🤍🤍

[@zdziarnowska2914]

After 3 episodes I actually feel a bit of emotional connection with this rug

[@Shmoxd]

Same.. haha

[@Koboldmensch]

Honestly, if you are bothered by the white spots at the transition, I would just go over it with some acrylic paint in the right colour. As you said, noone will notice. But turned out dope already!

[@Shmoxd]

Looove that idea! And I bet I could just use red and it would blend well

[@theaclairy8992]

i feel like this would look so cool on a staircase

[@Shmoxd]

Oooo I need to try this.. I’ll post it on my Ig story

[@coshy2074]

Imagine going up those stairs while drunk....

[@imfiveone7158]

it brings me so much peace how you show your mistakes. It makes my anxiety about starting new projects go away. thank you so much

[@Anavahspromise]

I learned the art of perseverance watching this series! You're awesome!

[@themolemiseter]

i love this rug so much! I also really like your approach to mistakes, I always get really disappointed and frustrated with myself but seeing you push past all the little obstacles and actually learn from that process is really encouraging. also I love ur voiceover style it's exactly how I talk to myself in my head when I'm working too lmao

[@Shmoxd]

I’m glad I’m not alone with the talking in my head:) and thanks!

[@Axeo19]

I love that you're using tiny embroidery scissors for all this 😂

[@Shmoxd]

Hahahah I can’t find my big ones

[@hg24ever]

It’s so good. Kinda wanna add it to my list of new home DIYs.

[@Shmoxd]

[@Dana-cp8qz]

Wow it looks so cool! Would you ever try to do the melty rug again but without using a premade rug? Like completely tuft both the not melted and melted design?

[@Shmoxd]

Yah! I almost wonder if it would be easier in some aspects..

[@foofyastralpunk5875]

Came here to ask this. I think it would be easier... Ok, could be easier.

[@arrjay55]

YT just started suggesting your videos and I am hooked! The way you edit and style your videos is so new! I can't wait to watch everything you've made!
