I could go on and on about Minecraft all day, but that's not why we're here.
If you look closely at the tapestry, all angles are right angles. Now, some are small and close together, creating the appearance of obtuse angles, but they are only optical illusions. It is also symmetrical, a feature that I like because I prefer when things line up perfectly. It is a never ending maze of peaks and valleys, perfectly aligned to bring tranquility.
The colors are muted earth tones. This has a calming effect. There are several themes within the tapestry. There are rectangles, diamonds and triangles. There is the strong, bold black lines, forming the borders, the color brown, signifies the earth to me. The white represents a gentler version of the black lines. The black on white decorative border gives the appearance of fringe, or movement. A sign of life. The gray triangular areas seem to support the central design, encompassing the scene and bringing it all together.
