Thrilling yarn: tapestry depicts `Game of Thrones` saga
(Artdaily.org)
 


In a Belfast museum, seamstresses are at work depicting gory battles and warring kings in shimmering threads of red and gold -- an epic homage to the TV phenomenon `Game of Thrones`. The team of volunteers at the Ulster Museum are putting the final touches to a 90-metre (300-foot) tapestry depicting all eight seasons of the fantasy saga, which reached its dramatic conclusion in May. `Game of Thrones`, which first hit screens in 2011, was produced and chiefly filmed in studios in Belfast and in the Northern Irish countryside. The Northern Irish public have taken the series to their hearts. `A tapestry is, more than anything else, a great storytelling device,` explained Valerie Wilson, costume and textiles curator at National Museums Northern Ireland.
